Have you ever painted
your house and wondered what do to with the extra paint? Common
products in your home or business may be toxic, flammable or corrosive.
The King County Wastemobile offers a convenient way to dispose of
household toxic products free-of-charge in Auburn this weekend.
Auburn residents can bring their household wastes to a three-day
Wastemobile event on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 23 –

Distribution Center at Ellingson Street and C Street SW., Auburn.
The first program of its kind in the nation, the Wastemobile has

King County's Wastemobile accepts pesticides, chlorine bleach, paint
products, automotive products (such as oil, antifreeze and auto
batteries) and other household hazardous items free of charge. By
properly disposing of these materials and keeping them out of drains
and garbage, you are helping safeguard your family's health and
the environment.
