Integrated Solid Waste & Recycling

Read labels for toxicity and buy brands that won`t hurt the environment or the water supply. Buy only products and quantities needed. Before bringing unwanted hazardous chemicals to the HHWCF, check to see if a person or organization may be able to use it. The most responsible way to deal with hazardous chemicals is to use them for their intended purposes.

Batteries We have a battery-recycling box on the table inside the residential recycling door (West door) where you can drop off rechareable batteries such as, Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion) and Small Sealed Lead acid batteries(Pb). Ni-Cad Rechargeable batteries such as portable phone, powertool, video and camera batteries can also be recycled at Radio Shack, 852 W.

You can recycle general household alkaline batteries (A-D) in the clear collection tube inside the west door. Please tape the terminals of lithium batteries before placing in the tube.

Fertilizer Follow label instructions. Sweep fertilizer from sidewalks, streets and driveways after application. Leave grass clippings and leaves on lawn to decompose into natural nutrients, reducing fertilizer needs. Don`t over-fertilize or fertilize before heavy rains.

Paint Latex paint is non-hazardous and can be landfilled if solid (dry). Remove lid and let air dry, or mix used kitty litter to dry out, or Jackson Community Recycling has bentonite (drying agent) available in bags. Mix 1 part drying agent to 3 parts stirred latex paint. Oil paint products must be disposed of at the HHWCF.

Pesticide Follow directions carefully. Use indicated amounts. Doubling quantities doesn`t double performance. Consider control methods including: cultural (cultivation, mulching, rotation); host resistance (disease resistant varieties); biological (natural predators); mechanical (trapping, vacuuming); and sanitation (pest-free seeds and pruning).
