Q&A for How to Dispose of Hazardous Waste

Yes, but most of the time your community/city includes it in your trash rate. Contact your city and ask them.

Vomit is not considered hazardous waste. You can flush it down a toilet or just throw it away in the garbage.

No. Only some of the old models contain mercury. The latest models include fluorescent powder, which is a non-hazardous white powder.

If you can't flush it down the toilet, it's best to create a composting toilet. This will allow the feces and urine to break down.

Store the dirt in a special container and hand over to the waste management team in your locality.

It's considered bio hazardous material and needs to be taken care of by specialized personnel. Best to contact 'Crime Scene Cleaners' or similar service in your area to manage waste and contamination like this.

It sounds like you are a business, so you will probably have to pay to get rid of them. There are companies that collect oil and filters from other companies that generate that kind of waste. Check with a local oil change place and see who they use. I know years ago in the service station business we had someone come and collect the oil from our holding tank and the filter once drained went into the trash. I would think by now someone is recycling them.

Check with the local state university; all have labs and can probably help. Or check with the local health department; cities, counties and states all have some way of getting rid of hazardous waste.

Not without polluting the environment. You'll want to use it up normally.

Contact a Department of Labor approved asbestos removal contractor, who will then take it to a waste disposal facility suitable for asbestos.

Pool supplies such as acid cannot be poured down a drain as simple wastewater (unless "trade effluent" consent is obtained from the local water company). Acids for use in pools must be disposed of through a licensed waste provider.
