Thanks for the info, Coastal. Good to know about the acrylic paint.

My next-door neighbor works on cars all the time and always has one or two plastic dishpans filled with used motor oil, just sitting on the ground in his backyard. I hate that! It sits there for months at a time, and I suspect it eventually just gets dumped on the ground somewhere.

This should help some folks identify hazmat in their homes.

Our local amateur theatre takes leftover paint to use on their sets.

Wow, that amount surprises me a little.

A wee bit scary but doesn't surprise me.

That's a lot! In Oldsmar they have a yearly collection of these where you take your stuff to a designated bldg and they dispose of it. This is done for all the residents and it's free.

Think our toilet only holds less than two gallons of water

and I know it gets used at least twice a day so.......
