"Anything that fits into a bag."

I've got a propane torch, a fire extinguisher, various household cleaning supplies, and about 100 lb of ceramic tile to get rid of. And I have some 3 mil "contractor bags" than can handle more weight than I can carry.

My current plan is to drive the hazardous waste to recology. If someone could do it for me it'd be nice, but I'm not sure that's even legal. Still working out the tile thing. Not sure Habitat would want it. I've also got a bunch of paint, but I know where to take that.




"Anything that fits into a bag."

Asbestos, bodies, nuclear waste .. the possibilities are endless.


Latex paint can usually be disposed of in normal garbage. Just open the cans and let the paint dry out first.


Some cities have a household hazardous waste disposal location where one can drop off used chemicals, paint, etc. They will separate stuff that can be reused and properly dispose of the rest. The one in our city, we just backup our car and they take out the stuff while you sit in the car and complete the paperwork and show an id.


You can also dump in sand or kitty litter. You just need to make sure that when they run the compactor in the truck it doesn't explode paint everywhere.
