Over the past week, I've gotten rid of 7 or 8 large boxes of "hazardous waste," including old paint and varnish cans, old cell phones, laptops and other electronics, and expired prescription medicines. There is a paint store in my neighborhood, Dunn-Edwards, that takes old cans of paint, but not cans without labels (I had two of those).
There is also a household hazardous waste disposal site about 15 or 20 miles from my house that takes paint cans, even ones without labels, and electronics. I went there this past weekend. The workers were all wearing haz-mat suits. For paint. And cell phones.
Today I took a large bag of expired medicines, including vitamins and OTC pills, from over the past 20 years or more. I found out Kaiser's pharmacy has a drop box to take old pills. I wish I had known, I would have gotten rid of the pills sooner.
