What to do with Household Hazardous Waste
Cleaning out your garage? Gather an inventory of chemicals you no longer need with approximate weights or volumes of each category of waste and call the Solid Waste District for a voucher at 732-7745. The voucher will pay for disposal at Environmental Enterprises and can be mailed or e-mailed to you.
Remember, paint can simply be dried out by adding kitty litter, newspaper clippings or drying material sold at hardware stores. Once it’s a pasty consistency, it can be set on the curb for your waste hauler to collect.
