What do you do with your waste batteries, oil, paints, pesticides,

Might as well get in the habit now.


Some do the following:


* Batteries - sold for lead scrap
* Oil - lubricate the storm drains
* Paints - in the trash
* Pesticides - leave in schoolyard at midnight (same with refrigerators,
dented propane tanks, etc.)
* Medicines - in the trash or toilet


Some people do not understand what the city's "Solid Waste Disposal"
department is supposed to do. If the item is "solid" and is "waste" the city
presumably knows how to "dispose" of it. Some people, again, hold that when
the city is incapable, incompetent, or unable, the fix belongs to the city.


WTH!!!??? *Do you _really_ think that the SWD picks through your
garbage sorting it prior to disposal? *Put hazardous waste in your
can, that is last time it will be seen - goes straight to the dumping
site.
