A B'More Green reader recently inquired by the city's hazardous waste drop-off day, which usually comes in the spring. A city spokesman confirms it's been canceled because of budget constraints.
But he provided a link with some tips about what to do with at least some of that stuff.
There are some good tips, like taking your used or broken CFL bulbs to Ikea or Home Deport for recycling.
Some are not as useful: For water or latex-based paint, the website suggests: use it completely.(It also suggests giving it to someone who can use it or air drying unwanted paint in the can and mixing it with kitty litter and disposing of dried paint in the garbage.)
Others on the list include batteries, motor oil and cooking oil.
Any one have tips for disposing of hazardous waste in an eco-friendly manner? Know of places to take some of the stuff?
