Regional Collection Center accepts household hazardous waste

  Hearing the phrase, household hazardous waste, what comes to mind?
  Probably weed killers, bug killers, drain cleaner, bleach and ammonia. Those are correct answers. But there's more.
  Typically if [hazardous material] containers are emptied out, they're just garbage, but if they're partly full, they're hazardous waste. Examples are hydrogen peroxide and vinegar.
  The partly full rule gets tricky with aerosol cans, however.
  If upon shaking the can, it makes a sound, then it is not empty — even if nothing comes out. Used up metal hairspray and mousse bottles are also hazardous materials, to avoid pitching with the trash, said Dale Schoneman.
  Those items, and partially full other items such as oil-based paint and varnish, herbicides, pesticides, nail polish and polish remover, should go to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center, said Schoneman, a household hazardous waste specialist there. The Collection Center is one arm of the Butler County Transfer Station, which is all located on Highway 3 east of Sinclair Avenue.
