Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program
January thru June 2009

	Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program January thru June 2009 What is Household Hazardous Waste? All The Items Listed Below And More!
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Sites will take ALL Household Hazardous Waste and Universal Waste

Before transporting waste to the collection event or facility, please use this checklist to make sure you have done the following:
	Have I used up every product to the fullest extent possible?	Is the waste in its original container or is it properly labeled as to the contents? (The contents of the container must be the same as stated on the label. If not, cover up the label and write the name of its content.)
	Have I removed all valuables, as well as, all other items that can be mistaken as hazardous and universal waste discards?
	Have I offered good, usable products I can’t use to my neighbor, family or friends?	Are the items placed in a sturdy container, such as cardboard or wooden box, for transporting? (Wrap glass bottles in newspaper to prevent breakage.) Containers with flammable liquid will not be returned.
	Have I kept the amount of chemical waste to less than 5 gallons or 50 lbs. for transportation? (State Law maximum transportation limitation.)	Is the box placed in the trunk of your car or in the bed of your pickup truck and secured to prevent movement? (Keep items away from passengers.)
	Are any of the containers leaking? (If they are, place them in a container or material that will not allow the leak to spread and place securely in the vehicle for safe transport.)
Follow directions once you reach the event site. You will be asked to turn off your motor and stay in your vehicle. The site staff will unload the material from your vehicle. NOTE: The program is not responcable for lost or missing items from your vehicle.

THIS EVENT IS FOR RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY. PHOTO DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MADE OF EXCESSIVE OR SUSPECTED NON-RESIDENTIAL LOADS COMING TO EVENT.
