WHAT TO DO WITH HAZARDOUS WASTE
What do you do with old motor oil, batteries (including alkaline, computer, vehicle, etc.), fluorescent light bulbs, antifreeze, fire extinguishers, insecticides, rat poison, oil based paints, etc.? Check out the information provided by Swaco on their website regarding the handling of hazard waste: https://www.swaco.org/195/Household-Hazardous-Waste
Swaco will take oil based paint for no charge. Latex paint is not considered hazardous but it must be dried before putting into regular trash. Mix an equal amount of an absorbent material such as cat litter into the paint can and allow the paint to dry. Or you can use sawdust, plaster of Paris, Oil-dri, or a product called waste paint hardener which can be purchased at home improvement stores or Amazon.
LOCK BOXES
