    I went to my local hazardous recycling day.  It was quite the production.  The volunteers did not want us out of our cars and would unload all the paint, oil, glycol, etc, etc. The cost was $3. a gallon.

    New to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? How will you use your compost once it is ready?

    Yum compost - needs some greens, tossing, and a little water.

    I have been accumulating brake fluid this racing season.  Brake fluid for race cars is silicon based, but  standard DOT 3/4 contains DEG, (kind of like radiator fluid).  This sweet tasting substance is poisonous and would kill an animal that mistakenly drinks it.  The local racetrack takes it but auto parts stores do not.  My local city will take it this Saturday Oct 12.
