How to Dispose of
Household Hazardous Waste Material
|
|
|
|
Electronics: Any item with
a circuit board can now be recycled at the White Tanks Transfer Station
located at 18605 W. McDowell Road. Hours of operation are Monday through
Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 12 noon. It is closed
Sundays. Their telephone number is 623-853-1707 ext. 200.

|
|
Latex or Oil Paints: The
best method of disposal for all types of paint is to "use it up, or pass
it on." Give to a neighbor, schools or other non-profit organizations.
Remember, empty paint cans or paint that has completely dried in the
can is not hazardous and can be placed in your trash container. If the paint
is not dried, remove the lid and let the paint dry thoroughly. It can then be
disposed in your trash container. Mixing the paint with kitty litter will
make the paint dry faster.

|
Motor Oil/Used Car Batteries:
Some automobile repair shops can properly dispose these materials. AutoZone
or Checker Auto Parts will accept your motor oil and car batteries at no
cost.
|
|
|
Rechargeable Batteries
(Nickel-Cadmium, Lithium Batteries): These are the batteries typically
found in rechargeable electronic equipment, such as cordless and cell phones.
Rechargeable batteries can be taken to any Best Buy, Lowes, Office Max or
Radio Shack for proper disposal at no charge.
|
|
|
Alkaline Batteries (AA's, AAA's,
C's, D's, and 9-volts): Dispose of them in the garbage container. These
batteries have low toxicity, making them safe to place in your beige trash
container.
|
|
|
Tires: Leave your used
tires with the dealer. Additionally, Maricopa County tire disposal sites will
accept up to five tires annually from each Maricopa County resident. Contact
the Rainbow Valley Transfer Station at 602-506-4006, or the Queen Creek tire
disposal site at 480-987-2498.
|
|
|
CFL Light Bulbs: CFLs, or
Compact Fluorescent Lights, can be taken to any Home Depot or ACE Hardware
store for proper disposal. Please contact them for store hours and locations.
Another option would be to take them to the Hassayampa Transfer Station; their
phone number is 602-506-4006.
