Roadside and Residential Clean-up

ALERT!

 from the Town of Epsom Health Department and the New Hampshire Department of Safety Division of State Police

Please read the information below, thank you.

 

With Spring/Summer here many people are involved in general "cleaning up" around their homes and road side clean up activities in their communities.

 

Please watch for and do NOT touch items that resemble capped plastic bottles that contain a little fluid and tin foil, called “Drano Bombs”. Another dangerous item to be on the lookout for is a capped plastic bottle or container with a tube attached to the cover, called a “One Pot”.  These containers are equally dangerous because of the chemical reaction happening inside the container, which is the building up of pressure inside the container causing a large very dangerous explosion when moved even slightly!

 

If you see anything that resembles these, stay away and contact the Police Department.
