What to Do with Household Hazardous Waste

When you go to work on your next project, you might find that you have household hazardous waste. Hazardous waste is easier than you think to find, and it cannot go in your dumpster container or even your trash container but must be disposed of through a professional organization or the government. These items can include many things that you might find in your shed or garage, like lawn or pool chemicals, gasoline, oil, or other items.

It may also include things that you find renovating a bathroom, like medicine, sharps, and many chemicals. Even mercury-containing devices, such as a thermometer, are hazardous waste. When you are working on your next project, be sure to look for the words “danger,” “poison,” “warning,” “flammable,” toxic,” or “caution” which definitively designate items as hazardous.

One way to get rid of all of the waste in Basehor is to join a Household Hazardous Waste event. You can bring up to twenty items per person to the event as long as they are in containers that do not leak (oil is not accepted) and in containers that are five gallons in volume or less. The event is in May and is located at 2300 North 158th Street in Basehor.

Leavenworth County Transfer Station

Another option is to take your household hazardous waste to the Leavenworth County Transfer Station at 24967 136th Street in Lansing. Transfer stations are a great way to dispose of things that cannot go or fit into your bin. The transfer station will accept the following items:

• Aerosol cans, Gasoline and antifreeze, Bathroom cleaners, Carpet cleaners, Diesel fuel, Fertilizers and pesticides, Floor cleaners and floor polish, Fluorescent bulbs, Fire extinguishers, Kerosene, Oil-based paint, latex paint, and paint thinners, Sharps with needles in a container, Solvents, stains, and varnishes, Tires, Thermometers and thermostats.

If you have oil, it will not be accepted at the transfer station either but can be taken to a nearby Walmart shop or Auto Parts Store.

What to Do With Electronic Waste?

What do you do if you have electronic items? Can you put those items in a garbage bin or dumpster container? The answer is: no. Most states have banned electronic items from any container that goes to landfills. Part of the reason is that electronic items have proliferated and have shorter lifespans.

In the past, people kept a stereo system for years. But today, a phone may only stay with a person for a year or two. For this reason, it is important to process all of these forms of waste with a professional service that can reuse much of the materials, recycle other parts, and environmentally dispose of the rest.

The easiest way to get rid of your electronic items when you are renting a dumpster bin or any time of the year when you find old electronic waste is to take these items to the Lebanworth Transfer Station. the Lebanworth Transfer Station accepts the following electronic items:

• Cell phones, Computers, Keyboards, Monitors, Printers, DVD players, Electronic Cords, Scanners, Small electronics, Speakers, Stereos, and Televisions.
