This post is for people who are too busy to read the little yellow insert that arrived inside the water bill from Gwinnett County Public Utilities. You see it as extra junk in your bill, I see it as "Yee-haw! Blog content!!!"
The timing is perfect, because the weekend in the Fall is a popular time for cleaning out of garages, where we store most of this dangerous stuff.
Examples of hazardous household wastes are:
- paints
- solvents
- batteries
- automobile fluids
- herbicides and pesticides
- pour these things down the household drain
- throw in the garbage
- pour into ditches, storm drains, or gutters
- dump or bury
- burn
- use it up
- give the product to someone else who can use it (I'd use Freecycle.org)
- avoid buying hazardous products in the future
For information about reducing, recycling, and disposing of Household Hazardous Wastes in Gwinnett County, contact Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful at 770-822-5187 or visit the website at www.gwinnettcb.org - they can provide helpful tips and disposal locations
