Good News for DC: Hazardous Waste Disposal Goes Weekly
On April 5, 2014, DC began offering weekly electronic and hazardous waste drop at the Fort Totten Transfer Station. The station,located at 4900 John F. McCormack Drive is open for electronic and hazardous waste disposal every Saturday from 8am until 3pm. They are also open every first Thursday of the month from 1-5pm. DOCUMENT SHREDDING is only offered on the first Saturday of the month. Click here for a long list of acceptable electronic/hazardous waste. They will also accept up to four tires. They will not accept ammunition or explosives (drop these off at a police station), air conditioners, microwaves, wooden TV cabinets or consoles (call 311 for bulk pick up). For any unwanted medications, DO NOT FLUSH THESE, rather, mix with dirt and/or old coffee grounds/cat litter and place in the trash. For any questions, call the Fort Totten Transfer Station at (202) 737-4404. Finally, BE SURE TO BRING ID WITH YOU THAT IDENTIFIES YOU AS A DC RESIDENT! Happy weekly electronic and hazardous waste recycling!
That is so cool that they would do a drop off for hazardous waste. We used to flip houses and once we had a condo that turned out to have been used as a meth lab, we cleared out of their fast. Thankfully no one got sick or was hurt, but we did have to call a waste management facility. http://www.ohanaenviron.com/material_equipment.html
ReplyDeleteIf throwing a hazardous waste disposal and recycling event isn't enough, I love how you go the extra mile, by accepting up to four tires and document shredding too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the advice on how to get rid of unwanted medication. I didn't know there were people who still cared about taking care of our planet as much as I do.

Both minimum recycled content mandates and utilization rates increase demand directly by forcing manufacturers to include recycling in their operations. Content mandates specify that a certain percentage of a new product must consist of recycled material. idaho falls landfill
ReplyDeleteWhat a timely info, thanks! I have a lot of stuff hanging around my garage and I just don't know how to dispose them properly. I'm not ready to hire hazardous waste disposal companies for the moment.
ReplyDeleteNice Info! There are some people who wants to recycle their waste products specially metal and they to earn maximum profit.
