Dangerous waste disposals

[Hilda200]

Hello all,
I would like to know how you all are disposing the old paints, pesticides and appliances. I happened to read an article How To Dispose Of Hazardous Waste | Gorilla Bins.. We have some appliances and pesticides which are to be disposed. How shall I dispose them?? Are there any safe ways to dispose them??

Procedures will vary by region, I'd contact your local (City/town) government and see what they say. Or perhaps check their website if they have one.

Here in Maryland we take them to a special part of the county transfer station (dump) and we can dump 5 gallons per day per household. Things like paint, paint thinners, other chemicals.
