Q: I cleaned out my garage and have old paints, pesticides, auto fluids and other toxic materials. What do I do with them?
A: The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility is open every Saturday and drop-off is free. The HHW facility is located at the Recology Vacaville Solano Recycling Center, 855 1/2 Davis Street in Vacaville. No appointments are necessary for this service. The center is open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Q: What do I do with my empty paint cans?
A: If the cans are entirely empty and dry, they are no longer hazardous waste and may be placed in the gray toter. Leave the lids to the paint cans off when depositing the dry empty cans in your grey toter. If the paint cans contain wet paint residue, you can take them to the HHW facility at the Recology Vacaville Solano Recycling Center, 855-1/2 Davis St., any Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
