Hard to dispose of items Mark Unseen   Dec 3 19:22 UTC 1995

Can anyone tell me where we can dispose of a few items?
                #1)  Anti Freeze solution       
                #2)  Scrap (wet) Water based paint
                #3)  Scrap (wet) Oil Based paint
                #4)  Used thinner (for cleanup of brushes)
                #5)  Used (spent) Photographic developer, fixer & Stop bath.
Thanks

They are probably all in the Toxic Materials category. The Ann Arbor
Waste blurb mentions only bateries, motor oil, and oil filters. However
you can get info by called (in Ann Arbor) 994-7336. I did, to learn
about fluorescent tubes...got an answering machine, but a pretty
prompt response. Let us know what they say!

The paint can probably be donated to a community service organization.
Check with Prospect Place in Ypsi.  

The anti freeze can probably be disposed of properly by any auto service
shop or car dealer.

The photo chemicals can probably be disposed of properly by a full service
photo lab like Photo One or Precision Photographics.  They should pay you
for the fixer because they can extract silver from it!

Recyle Ann Arbor Reuse center may still be accepting usable paint and other
chemicals, which it redistributes for free.  You deliver.
