Disposing of Hazardous Materials

July 14, 2008

Hello RiNos,

I’m trying to figure out the best way to safely dispose of old jars and rags with oil paint residue. To this point, I’ve been collecting them, but I need to get rid of them. I have contacted Alpine Waste Management (the management team for my area) and they apparently do not handle hazardous materials specifically. Furthermore, they claimed the amounts were so insignificant, I could probably just dispose of them normally anyway, but I do not agree. I think this is a worthy discussion for everyone in the district and look forward to reading your solutions/suggestions. Thanks.
