How do I dispose of toxic cleaning products?

Question

I want to "go green" with my home cleaning products. How do I dispose of my old ones? I have read many scary things about them so I don't want to use them up.

A website I found said to pour them down the drain. Is there a better way? I don't want to contaminate the water with these chemicals. Thanks!
