Hazardous Wastes

Never put the following items in your household trash!
Here's how to dispose of them:

Take to an auto service station which accepts for recycling (most nearby stations):
Used motor oil
Auto batteries

Take to the LORTON LANDFILL* for proper disposal the above items and:
Auto anti-freeze
Pesticides-insect/pest control sprays/liquids/solids
Herbicides-weed control products
Other poisons
Oil-based paint and paint solvents (not latex paints)
Household cleaners, solvents, and oven cleaners
Car waxes with solvents
Photographic chemicals
Household batteries: carbon zinc, nicad and button batteries are recycled
(Alkaline batteries cannot be recycled and may be disposed of with regular trash.)

Latex paints are not hazardous waste. The Department asks that you not take them to the hazardous waste collection point. Just open the cans, allow them to dry out and then put them into your regular trash collection.

Useful recording 324-5068. For other information call 324-5052 or call 324-5230 during regular County office hours.
