I want to make the switch with household cleaners to more eco-friendly products. I don’t have a complete understanding of the effect of chemical cleaners on sewage treatment etc but I know it’s bad for waste water to contain those things. For the cleaners I do have, I don’t want to dump them down the drain exactly (soaps containing triclosan, etc) so how do I get rid of them when I replace them with 7th Generation or other brands?

Ask HD or Lowes if they can recycle them. You local landfill should also accept them.
First of all, to avoid chemicals from leaking, use them up before you get rid of them. Then, take them to a recycling shop. Then, you will get money for them! Good Luck!!! : )
1. Just use them up and replace them as needed.
2. Give them to a relative, friend or neighbor who doesn’t plan on switching to green cleaning products.
