Containers should not exceed 5 gallons of liquid or 40 pounds of solid waste.
Do not mix hazardous wastes together; keep them in their original containers with the orignial labels intact.
Please do not bring latex or water-based paints. They are not considered hazardous. If you're not sure of the type of paint, please refer to the label on the paint can; if it cleans up with soap and water, it is not hazardous waste and can be disposed of with regular trash.
