We cleaned out my mother’s house last August after she moved to memory care. Four boxes of old oil based paints, paint thinner, old fire extinguisher, etc. ended up in our garage. Our town used to have an annual hazardous waste disposal day but even with an appointment and waiting in line for two hours we didn’t get in,
This year they changed the procedure and I was able to offload all of that yesterday, easy peasy. I was so excited I clapped for joy on my way out!
