The Center for EcoTechnology (CET) can help real estate agents on the Cape and Islands assist with the selling process when preparing a home for sale by helping identify and manage hazardous items, say when you are helping a seller clean out their home.

Some hazardous items to note are:

  • Compact Fluorescent Bulbs & Tubes
  • Dial Thermostats
  • Thermometers & Barometers
  • Some Antiques
  • Paint, Solvents and Thinners
  • Pool Chemicals, Pesticides, Fertilizers
  • Auto Chemicals and Fluids
