• Proper container disposal – some residents unnecessarily drop off used, but empty containers. These items generate more waste during the collection. Here are a couple of tips for disposing of these materials:

• Latex paint – if paint is completely dry and hardened in the can, it is safe to throw away in your regular trash.

• Other HHW containers – if container is completely dry and empty, it is safe to throw away in your regular trash
