How to dispose of an SLA??/
« on: January 25, 2004, 05:40:33 PM »
So, I got my SLAs on friday, and I went into the bag today to find one of them is cracked and leaking. I was wondering, can I just throw it away in the regular garbage, or is there some other way I need to get rid of it??? THANKS!

Definatly DO NOT throw it away.  It contains a fair amout of lead.   The same criteria as diposing of a used car battery should be used.

if you take it to your local dump they will know how to deal with it- also any local battery store should have recycling for it

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

Bean,
thats the way the gov't does it!

There is a system within our county that takes any form of toxic material, and will properly dispose of it,..... AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT A BUSINESS!
I was in paint sales and manufacturing for a long while, and told people about this all the time....no one knew of the service, because they don't advertise it.
Find out if your county / city has such a service to the private public.

mok3, i live a hop, skip, and jump away from a landfill,and that shit is nasty, yoiu can smell it on a hot summer day :P

and on top of it, we get jerseys dirt too!!! :'(

oh i forgot, a good way of disposing of them is through an old roomate who owes you 1200 bucks head.  ah well, guess you cant squeeze blood from a turnip.
