two new bays and obtained loading equipment with
grant funds provided by the Solid Waste District.

Dear Residents,
In 2008 the Solid Waste District collected 7,631
tons of recyclables and 16,869 tons of yardwaste at
District-run drop-offs. This is an increase of 1,347 tons
from 2007. These drop-offs have continued to grow
every year since the inception of each program. To make
our recycling programs more efficient the District would
like to point out a few guidelines for residents to follow
when taking recyclables or yardwaste to District-run
drop-offs.
Guidelines at District Recycling & Yardwaste Drop-Offs:
* Remember to only bring recyclables
(see page 4 of this newsletter for a list
of acceptable items) to the recycling
drop-offs and only bring yardwaste
materials (see page 5 for a list of
acceptable items) to the yardwaste
drop-offs.
* Do not place any other type of materials
inside the bins.
* Do not drop-off any other materials
on the ground or near the drop-off
locations. Please take trash with you
when you leave the sites.
* If the bins are full or you have any
questions on a drop-off site, contact the
District office at 800-678-9839.
* Report any illegal trash
dumping by calling the District
at 800-678-9839 or by sending an
e-mail to [email protected].
With the help of every resident, the District drop-offs
can remain clean and free of trash and debris.
Thank you,
David Held
Executive Director

Dealing with Paint
Starting in 2010, the District will no longer be accepting latex paint at our Household Hazardous Waste Collections
(oil-based paint will still be accepted). Although latex paint can be brought to our upcoming 2009 collection, the
District would like to give you alternative ways to dispose of your latex paint. Please read below.
The best way to avoid excess paint is to calculate how much is needed before you start your project. This is easy to do by
visiting one of these websites:
• Benjamin Moore - http://www.benjaminmoore.com - 1) select your language, 2) select “For Your Home”, 3) click
on “Learn How” and 4) click on “Paint Calculator” on the left.
• Paint Quality Institute - http://www.paintquality.com/diy/calculator/calc.html
• Lowes - http://www.lowes.com - 1) click on “How to Projects”, 2) click on “Make a Statement with Paint and 3)
click on “Paint Calculator”.
Other tips to keep in mind:
•
Buy latex paint. It is easily applied and can be cleaned with soap and water.
•
Use it up. If you can’t use the excess paint, give it to friends, relatives, theatrical groups, recreation departments or
community service organizations. Give away only paint that is of good quality in its original container with the label
intact.
•
Save paint for future use. It will last for years if sealed tightly and stored where it will not freeze.
•
If paint is dry, it can be disposed of in your regular trash. The lid must be removed so the hauler can see it is dry.
•
If the paint is wet, follow these directions:
For Latex Paint (water based)
For quantities greater than 1 inch left in container
1. Find a well-ventilated area that is protected from children and pets.
2. Add cat litter or sawdust to absorb the paint.
3. Every couple of days, stir the mixture to allow air to flow through. Depending on the type and quantity of paint
you have, the drying process can be lengthy and may take from several days to several weeks.
4. When completely dry, discard with the regular trash (put in a bag or box).
5. Leave the lids off so the trash company can see that the paint is hardened.
For small quantities (less than 1 inch)
1. Find a well-ventilated area that is protected from children and pets.
2. Remove the lid and allow liquids to evaporate (make sure there is proper ventilation). Do not smoke near cans
and avoid contact with the liquid or inhaling vapors.
3. When completely dry, discard with the regular trash (put in a bag or box).
4. Leave the lids off so the trash company can see that the paint is hardened.
NOTE: Small quantities of paint and aerosol cans can also be painted on cardboard or newspaper to use up. You can then
dispose of the cardboard or newspaper in your regular trash.
For Oil-Based Paint
Oil-based paints will not dry out using cat litter or sawdust, therefore, the District will still accept oil-based paints at
future Household Hazardous Waste Collections. Please remember to only bring oil-based paints to our future collections.
