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.


You need to translate his posts. *It will make more sense that way.
I'll give you an example.

"Robble robblerobble robble. *Robble robblerobblerobble robblerobble,
robble robble "robblerobble". *Robble robble."

I hope that helps clear things up for you. *One 'robble' is all you'll
ever need to glean as much as possible from his posting.

After all this time I am still waiting for him to _ever_ make sense.
Haven't seen him do it yet.
