Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up
Do you have chemicals around your house? Old containers of paint, pesticides, or just random chemicals you just aren’t sure how to dispose of…
I live in Cuyahoga County and this Saturday (May 10th), they are hosting a Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up. This allows you to bring in all those chemicals that you aren’t sure how to dispose of properly and have the county dispose of these materials in an environmentally friendly way. They have this event twice a year, and I actually took advantage of the City of Parma’s collection this past weekend.
It is very easy to do this. All you have to do is put these containers of chemicals in the trunk of your car. When you pull into the site, they signal to where you need to pull into and then pop your trunk. The staff will come out to your car and empty the materials out of your car. Then you simply pull away, taking less than five minutes.
If you have hazardous chemicals around your house, take them to be properly disposed of. It’s not just about disposing of them in an environmentally friendly way, but also to clean out the environment you live in every day of these chemicals. There is a reason they call them “hazardous” chemicals. Clean up your environment and be good to the overall environment.

Hey! Thanks for all the great info. I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator. I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).
