Snohomish County Waste and Recovery Center. Household hazardous wastes from Snohomish County residents and non-residents are accepted at the HazoHouse, at the Snohomish County Waste and Recovery Center... Suggested BMPs • Check hazardous material containers frequently for signs of leakage. If a container is rusty and has the potential of leaking soon,place it in a secondary container before the leak occurs and prevent a cleanup problem. • Hazardous materials should be stored out of the reach of children. • Store hazardous materials containers under cover and off the ground. Keep them out of the weather to avoid rusting,freezing,cracking,labels being washed off,etc. • Keep appropriate spill cleanup materials on hand. Kitty litter is good for many oil-based spills. • Ground cloths and drip pans must be used under any work outdoors which involves hazardous materials such as oil-based paints, stains, rust removers, masonry cleaners, and others bearing label warnings as outlined above(See Figure). • Latex paints are not a hazardous waste,but are not accepted in liquid form at the landfill. To dispose of,leave uncovered in a protected place until dry,then place in the garbage. If your can is at least half full,you can take it to the HazoHouse to be placed in Swap Shop area. If you wish to dry waste paint quickly,mix kitty litter or sawdust in the can to absorb the paint. Once paint is dry,leave the lid off when you place it in the garbage so your garbage collector can see that it is no longer liquid. • Use less toxic products whenever possible. Ecology maintains a hotline at 1-800- RECYCLE, or see information online at https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/recycle/ • If an activity involving the use of a hazardous material can be moved indoors out of the weather,then do so. Make sure you can provide proper ventilation,however. 18
