Paints
Latex paint, 1/4 can or less mix with saw dust or kitty litter, allow to dry and dispose of in your regular refuse. All paints can be recycled on the special Hazardous Waste Collection Day.
Most household paint and chemicals are safe when used and stored properly.
When NOT disposed of preoperly, household wastes can become environmental hazards.
Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs)
CFLs are considered a household hazardous waste due to the small amount of mercury that can be released in the environment if sent to landfills. Home Depot stores are now accepting expired, unbroken CFLs for recycling or you can make an appointment with Monroe County (760-7600) to take them to a household waste collection site.
