Transporting
| Products and materials should be
packaged to keep them from spilling or breaking on the way to Clean
Sweep. Leave materials in their original containers. Do no mix like or
unlike materials together. Leaking containers may be placed, as is, in
another container. Label that container. |
Products & Materials to Flush or Throw Out
| Empty
Containers & Solid Material |
|
When a container
is empty or the material in it is solid, it is no longer hazardous and
may be thrown out in the regular trash. The exceptions to this rule are
solids or powders containing pesticides, poisons, mercury, lead, or
other heavy metals. Empty paint cans cannot be recycled.
Put the empty or solid 1 or 5 gallon containers, without the lids, out
for curbside pickup. |
| Water-Based
Products & Cleansers |
|
Latex
paints and water-based products are not hazardous. Cleansers or
any product that would have gone down the drain in normal use may be
flushed down a sanitary sewer drain including septic systems. Flush
small amounts of latex paint (less that 1/3 full container) or if not in
its original container down a sanitary sewer drain. If the paint is hard
on the bottom with some liquid on top (latex paints and driveway
sealant), pour the liquid down a sanitary sewer drain. Water-based
semi-solid like caulk, joint compound, adhesives, and glues may be
thrown in your regular trash. |
Recycling Hazardous Products
Many products in this category will need to be disposed through
other municipal services or handled through private businesses in Dane County.
Information about the disposal of fluorescent tubes, waste oil, batteries, fire
extinguishers, medical waste, and explosives is available through the
information line at 294-5366 or on the Hazardous
Materials Recycling & Disposal Options web page.
|
|
Reuse thinner
and other solvents for rinsing brushes and guns. Let solids from dirty
thinner, turpentine, etc., settle in the bottom of a clear container.
Filter the remaining liquid through cheese cloth or an old nylon until
the solvent is clear. Dry and dispose of the particles and paint chips
in your regular trash. |
|
|
Gasoline drained
from a snowblower, lawn mower, chainsaw, etc. that is mixed with oil may
be used up in your vehicle. Check the gasoline to see if it is clear
except for the color of the oil used. If clear, pour into your gas tank
on a 10:1 ratio (10 gallons of new gas to 1 gallon of old gas). The
small amount of oil in the old gas will not affect the performance of
your vehicle. If your gas cannot be used in this way, bring it into
Clean Sweep in a container that you can leave. |
Product Exchange
| Need a pint of stain or gallon of
basement paint? Does your roof need patching or are you stripping a
piece of furniture? Have the insects gotten to your roses? Just need a
dab and not a whole quart? Let the Clean Sweep & Product Exchange be
your source.
Products brought in by you and your neighbors that
are perfectly good and usable are made available, free of charge, to our
customers, or you to use up around your home, yard, farm, or on your
