HAZARDOUS WASTE
TIPS
- Carefully store
household hazardous wastes. Then, dispose of them safely at the Household
Hazardous Waste Collection Facility.
- Both hazardous
and recyclable materials should be brought to the facility in their
original containers.
- Please deliver
waste for drop-off in boxes you can leave.
- If not in their
original containers, materials should be labeled clearly.
- Do not mix your
leftover paints in one can, because the recycling company will sort
the paint by color and type. The recycled paint will be used as a sealer
for dry wall or concrete block walls.
- Don't bring empty
paint cans to the facility, they go into the garbage. First, remove
the lids from the empty cans and make sure the paint is hardened.
- Consider purchasing
recycled paints available at many local paint and hardware stores.
- Empty cleaner or
pesticide containers go in the garbage. First, wash thoroughly and wrap
securely in plastic or newspaper.
- Never mix two potentially
hazardous products together. They may be fine separately, but together
they could produce toxic fumes, fires or explosions.
- You can recycle your non-rechargeable
batteries (alkaline batteries) at the Utica Residential Convenience Station.
- Do not use discarded
food containers to store hazardous waste.
