What's Under My Sink = Hazardous Waste Facility Here I come

Lucky for me I have a random assortment of flammable materials underneath my sink. There are Sniffer wipes, paint &primer in one, charcoal lighter fluid, and Palmolive ultra strength dish detergent. Unfortunately, the Swiffer wipes do not have the ingredients listed on the package. According to the environmental working group, Swiffer Wet Mop cloths main ingredients are: 
methylchloroisothiazolinone, DDAC, methylisothizalinone, fragrance, acrylic copolymer, monobutyl ether, silicones, and a scary list of other ingredients which are toxic to the lungs. I essentially mop my floors and modestly poison myself everytime the sun warms the floors and scents my house . To top this, I also own lighter fluid and no grill. I am willingly keeping lighter fluid under my sink for a rainy day. Yes, I feel the idiocracy and irony washing over me as I type this entry. The odorless charcoal lighter fluid is clearly highly flammable. After getting past the DANGER signs and poison control information, there is a lovely disclaimer about its carcinogenic properties. I intend to google disposal procedures rather than look up the individual ingredients. Lucky for me the Alameda County household hazardous waste collection facility is less than 5 minutes from my house. I see no purpose in continuing to poison myself while cleaning. There is no need to add obstacles to cleaning and I rather poison myself in a more social recreational way, if I choose.
