No prescription drugs or sharps from businesses, schools or hospitals will be accepted. IDs will be checked for verification of residency. General tips: • Prescription drugs that are more than a year old should be disposed of properly. • Turn in non-prescription medicines without an expiration date that are more than six months old. •Keep pharmaceuticals in their original containers with labels to identify contents. •Sharps need to be placed in a rigid container with a sealed lid.

For Your Information Dangers of medicine in the water system Recent research conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey found substantial amounts of antibiotics and steroidal hormones in rivers, lakes and wells from samples analyzed in 36 states. For more information, visit epa.gov/ppcp. Dangers of needles in trash According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, each year, 8 million people use more than 3 billion needles, syringes, and lancets, also called sharps, to manage medical conditions at home. Some sharps users throw their used needles in the trash or flush them down the toilet. Used sharps left loose among other waste can hurt sanitation workers during collection rounds, at sorting and recycling facilities and at landfills, or become lodged in equipment, forcing workers to remove them by hand. Acceptable Items: Unused/Expired prescription medications Prescription cough syrup Prescription ear drops and eye drops Expired over-the-counter medications Residential sharps (needles/syringes) Children, adults and even pets are also at risk for needle-stick injuries when sharps are disposed improperly at home or in public settings.

CFLs are made of glass tubing and can break if dropped or roughly handled. Be careful when removing the lamp from its packaging, installing it or replacing it. Always screw and unscrew the lamp by its base and never forcefully twist the CFL into a light socket by its tubes. Should I be concerned about using CFLs in my home? CFLs are safe to use in your home. No mercury is released when the bulbs are in use and they pose no danger to you or your family when used properly. There is currently no substitute for mercury in CFLs; however, manufacturers have taken significant steps to reduce mercury used in their fluorescent lighting products over the past decade. To locate ther nearest drop-off location and hours of operation for CFLs in your community, visit swancc.org. What should I do with a CFL when it burns out? Like paint, batteries, thermostats and other hazardous household items, CFLs should be disposed of properly. Do CFLs contain mercury? CFLs contain about 5 milligrams (mg) of mercury sealed within the glass tubing. In comparison, an older oral thermometer contains 700 mg of mercury, 140 times the amount in a CFL. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Information and resources on all sources of mercury can be found at epa.gov/mercury. CFL RESOURCES Learn more about saving energy and recycling by visiting illinoisenergy.org and energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls. HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN SWANCC’S CFL PROGRAM? Only residents that live in a SWANCC member community are eligible to participate. Visit swancc.org for a list of SWANCCmember communities that are providing a drop-off location for CFLs. Some will accept 4 foot fluorescent lamps. Bring spent bulbs in a zip-lock-type baggie for extra protection to a drop-off location during designated hours. Each CFL contains a small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing – an average of 5 milligrams (roughly equivalent to the tip of a ball-point pen). Mercury poses potential health risks, therefore the CFLs should not be disposed of in the garbage if there is a recycling option. DANGERS OF CFLs This information is taken from the Dept. of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. ▪ CFLs reduce air pollution for a cleaner environment. If every IL household replaced one incandescent bulb with an 18-watt CFL, the results would be equivalent to: … removing 294,000 tons of carbon emissions from the air; … planting 39.4 million trees; … removing over 74,000 vehicles from Illinois roads each year. ▪ CFLs produce about 70% less heat than standard incandescent bulbs and are cool to the touch. ▪ Each CFL bulb can save you at least $25 in energy costs over the life of the bulb. ▪ They produce the same amount of light, but use 2/3 less energy and last 10 times longer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends the use of CFLs when compared to incandescent bulbs for the following reasons: BENEFITS OF COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHTBULBS Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFL) For more information about SWANCC and its many school and community programs and special material collections or events, visit swancc.org, email [email protected] or call the Agency at (847) 724-9205.

SWANCC ELIST Tips to Clean Up a Broken CFL 1. If possible, open a window in the room for ventilation. 2. Sweep up the broken glass fragments and fine particles with a piece of cardboard and a damp paper towel. 3. Contain broken glass, cardboard and paper towel in a zip lock bag, then place in a brown bag marked “broken glass”. 4. Place the double bags with above contents in the outside garbage can – do not sweep up or vacuum debris or put it in an inside garbage compactor. Tips to Remove and Replace a CFL • Turn light switch off before removing the bulb • Unscrew the bulb by holding the plastic or ceramic base, not the glass tubing • Do not over-tighten bulb when replacing • Never forcefully twist the glass tubing • Consider placing a towel underneath area where CFL is being changed • Do not use CFLs in locations where lamps can be knocked over The following tips are provided by the EPA and can be found at epa.gov/cflcleanup. 1700 West Central Road Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056 Phone: 847/870-5640 E-Mail: [email protected] Web Site: www.mountprospect.org Village of Mount Prospect Public Works Department - TIME Environment Challenge “Throughout history, many great civilizations have been buried, none, however, by their own garbage.” The Village Board of Trustees would like to thank the residents of Mount Prospect for their waste reduction efforts and working toward a safe and healthy environment. 01/12 • Curbside Refuse Collection • Curbside Recycling Collection • Yard Waste Collection • Multi-family Collection Residential Guide to: Solid Waste Services Mount Prospect Village of Village of Mount Prospect Public Works Page 19 It is unlawful for any individual, firm or corporation to deposit refuse and/or yard waste on either private or public property, including residential/commercial dumpsters and Village receptacles, other than that authorized for the individual. This will be strictly enforced; a fine may be imposed. “Fly Dumping” Please contact Public Works (847-870-5640) for a current listing of businesses accepting used car batteries, tires and motor oil. State law prohibits the disposal of car batteries, tires and motor oil. Therefore, car batteries, tires and motor oil are not collected by the refuse hauler. However, residents have several options for proper disposal of car batteries, tires and motor oil. A number of businesses in the area will accept these materials for recycling, charges may apply. Car Batteries, Tires, Motor Oil • Dispose of only empty containers in the household refuse. • Recycle through reuse by giving unused portions to neighbors or community organizations who will use the product; i.e. paints, cleaning products, etc. • Recycle products that can be remanufactured for reuse; i.e. motor oil, automobile batteries. • Solidified latex paint can be disposed of in household refuse. Use absorbents like kitty litter to solidify latex paint. • Take unused household hazardous waste to a permanent collection facility or a one-day collection. Visit the Village’s website at www.mountprospect. org to find out more. When improperly stored or disposed of, household wastes threaten human health or cause environmental contamination. Please follow these rules to properly dispose of hazardous materials. Household hazardous waste, such as chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, oil, paint, varnishes, strippers and similar items are not allowed in landfills and thus are not collected as part of the Village’s solid waste collection program. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE Page 18 Village of Mount Prospect Public Works Multi-family properties are responsible for the collection and disposal of all yard waste generated at the properties. Each property may contract independently for landscaping service or they can contact ARC (847-981-0091) for details regarding yard waste collection at multi-family properties. Yard Material Questions regarding your property’s participation should be directed to the owner/property manager. Residents residing in properties without the centralized program are encouraged to contact Public Works (847-870-5640) to obtain information about drop off locations. Recycling carts containing refuse and/or plastic bags will not be collected. If the placement of refuse and/or plastic bags is an ongoing problem and no solution can be arrived at by the property manager and the Village, the program may be discontinued. Recyclables are collected in 95 gallon wheeled carts. Please check with the property owner/manager for the location of the wheeled carts. The Village provides centralized recycling services to any multi-family property choosing to participate. The same materials collected in the curbside collection program are also collected at multi-family properties. Please refer to the recycling section under Single-family Collection beginning on page 3 for proper preparation of recyclables. The Village of Mount Prospect encourages residents to reduce, reuse and recycle. While the Village provides an extensive recycling program, residents should be aware that purchasing habits can reduce the amount of waste generated.

Check pressure gauge: The extinguisher should have a gauge saying whether it’s overcharged, at the correct pressure or in need of a recharge. 2. Call your fire department: You might be able to exchange your extinguisher or get it recharged. This information is not an endorsement of any company, product, or service. Please call locations prior to drop-off. Last updated: September 2011. 34 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS continued__________________ If it’s empty: 1. Squeeze the lever above the handle, ensuring that all contents are discharged. 2. Remove the head: This will let whoever disposes of the extinguisher know that all contents have been removed. 3.

PACKING PEANUTS – see PACKAGING PRODUCTS PAINT_________________________________________ Latex Paint: Latex paint will not be accepted at Household Chemical Waste collections. It may be disposed of at home because it is water-based and does not contain toxic material. The easiest way to dispose of paint is to use it up completely. Apply a second coat to your project or use it up on a piece of old cardboard or scrap wood. Let the can dry out and dispose of it in your regular garbage. If this isn’t an option, continue reading for further instructions. You can add shredded newspapers, kitty litter or Waste Paint Hardener (available at most hardware stores) to your latex paint. Let the paint dry out completely. This should be done in a well-ventilated area and away from children and pets. After the paint has dried, put the container in your garbage with the lid off so the garbage hauler knows the can is empty. This information is not an endorsement of any company, product, or service.

Never disassemble a smoke detector. Intact detectors pose little threat, but can be a health hazard if broken open. By federal regulation, all smoke detectors contain the mail-back address to send used units with radioactive chips. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission suggests checking the label on the detector for disposal options, but residents may safely discard individual units in their regular garbage.
