Yes. All products must be packaged in sturdy, non-leaking, closed containers not larger than 5 gallons. Keep products in original containers. If a product does not have its original label, label it yourself if you’re sure of the contents. Don’t mix products together. Make sure products are properly sealed to prevent leaks and spills. If a container is leaking, secure it in a secondary leak-proof container. Place containers in sturdy boxes (do not double stack containers) in the trunk of your vehicle and away from driver and passengers. State law limits the amount in a vehicle to 15 gallons or 125 lbs. per trip.Waste & Recycle Center
