Did you know that you should not put a bottle of RoundUp in your municipal trashcan for pick up? If that is the case, then why on Earth would we put that same chemical trash into our bodies?
Yep – RoundUp, Monsanto’s favorite herbicide and one of their best-selling products, is considered a Hazmat issue for local cities and towns. It isn’t supposed to be disposed of in your regular trash pick-up. According to the Department of Public Works, “Employees can be harmed by their toxic fumes.” Monsanto’s RoundUp is in the same category for trash removal as paint, paint thinner, furniture polish, mercury, swimming pool chemicals, CFL and fluorescent light bulbs, and antifreeze.
