Responsibly Handling Hazardous Waste
We’re a responsible and conscientious team, collecting hazardous waste found on the properties we buy and remodel to then properly dispose of it. Check out our article from last April, Clean and Clear Conscience.
Earth Day is everyday with Stylemaker Homes! The current Sammamish project threw some new challenges at us beyond AA batteries, old paint and CFL lightbulbs. Here we had all of those things plus four tubs of used automobile fluids, a mostly full gasoline gerry can, transmission fluid cans, a propane tank and aerosol cans.
This was from our SECOND trip in to the collection site. We found King County has a traveling hazardous waste collection program and made good use of it! Dates and more information about hazardous waste can be found here. And it’s FREE to use! (You’re already paying for it as a surcharge with your garage collection and sewer services, so you might as well use it!)
