Read the passage and then choose the suitable answer.
Ordinary houses are full of hazardous waste. The most important hazardous waste in the homes is batteries. When you throw them out with your other garbage, they break open at the landfill. The poison inside them moves through rain water and other liquids to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground. We should use rechargeable batteries. Another hazardous waste in homes is motor oil. Don’t throw motor oil on the ground or throw it on the garbage. It poisons the environment. We should recycle motor oil. Paint is another kind of hazardous waste in homes. Some cities have a “Paint Exchange Day”. If you bring open, unused blue paint and want red, they give you red. Sometimes they mix the paints together into strange colours. If you paint walls with them, you help save the environment. [hazardous: dangerous; landfill: rubbish dump]
