Default Cleaning Paint Rollers

We're nowhere near being buried under our own garbage, and
never will be. According to Penn and Teller's Bull****, the entire
trash disposal needs of the United States could be handled by a
single landfill measuring 35 x 35 miles x 2 miles high.


Seattle pays big bucks to ship their garbage to a far away site. It makes
more sense to reduce the amount of garbage when it gets that
expensive.

When it comes time to dispose of rollers,take them to a toxic
substances disposal site, which many municipalities now maintain. If
yours doesn't have one,take charge and see that they start one.


Sending dried latex to a hazardous waste facility is an absurd waste
of resources.
