What methods of disposing of hazardous waste are allowed?
There are locally sponsored collections programs created to accept hazardous waste from people who have no appropriate, economically feasible way to dispose of this waste. These programs have different names (such as Toxic Roundup) and accept hazardous waste from homeowners, farmers, schools, state agencies, small businesses, and other organizations. Toxic Roundup and similar programs are usually advertised in the newspaper, on the radio, on the television, and on banners and posters. These programs are generally held on an annual basis, but may occur more frequently. You should contact your county office of waste management for more information. The only other disposal option for hazardous waste is at a licensed hazardous waste treatment facility. You will be responsible for transporting, or contracting out the transportation of, the hazardous waste to such a facility.
