Keith,
Regarding your inquiry on SuperDrecksKeescht, the city of Plano, Texas
(next to Dallas) provides weekly collection of household hazardous waste
from households that call in at least 24 hours before their collection day
The service collects pesticides, paint, antifreeze, car batteries, pool
chemicals, paint thinner, motor oil, pet products (flea killer, etc.), cleaning
supplies & more.
You can read more about it at www.timetorecycle.com/plano2.html &
************************** Keith Ripley wrote, in part: I've always wondered why jurisdictions here in the US do not use something akin to the SuperDrecksKeescht (SDK) program in Luxembourg, where a small fleet of specially equipped trucks and vans makes regular rounds and requested pick-ups from households of potentially hazardous small-scale wastes. *************************
