I've been waiting for this- have paint cans to dispose of and didn't know what to do with them. I didn't realize that old TVs are considered hazardous waste. We just tossed one out last week.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 9, 2009 – The City of Jacksonville Solid Waste Division will host six household hazardous waste and electronic waste (e-waste) mobile collection events throughout the city.

E-Waste

Residents are encouraged to utilize a mobile collection or the Household Hazardous Waste Facility, 2675 Commonwealth Ave., for the recycling of electronic wastes. The HHW Facility is open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Types of waste which may be brought to one of the mobile events or to the HHW Facility include:

· Televisions*

· Computer monitors*

· Computer terminals

· CPUs

· Keyboards

· Printers

· Scanners

· Stereo equipment

· Radios

· VCRs

· Desk and mobile phones

· Pagers

· Health and beauty appliances

*There is a limit of 3 Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) and televisions per customer.

These items will be collected as part of normal garbage collection service if left at the curb. However, once these items enter the waste stream with normal garbage they cannot be recycled and are disposed of in the landfill.

These items are only collected from residences. Businesses should check for available recycling centers to arrange for the recycling and/or disposal of any e-wastes.

Household Hazardous Waste

Household hazardous wastes cannot be collected curbside with regular trash. Residents may bring these items, however, to one of the scheduled mobile collection events or they may take items to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility located at 2675 Commonwealth Ave.

Types of waste which may be brought to one of the mobile events or to the HHW Facility include:

· Paint

· Paint thinners and paint strippers

· Rechargeable batteries

· Photographic chemicals

· Thermometers and thermostats

· Drain cleaners

· Pool chemicals

· Aerosol cans

· Pesticides

· Antifreeze

· Fertilizer

· Acids

Just wanted to repeat the line above from HIF's post.

You can drop hazardous waste off anytime at the above site. I've brought old fertilizer there myself. You can even pick up free fertilizer, half-used paint, etc. as I understand it.
