Making Hazwaste HipLessons Learned from SF Outreach Campaigns
SF Environment
November 4, 2009
Please tape both contact points of each lithium battery for safety. Limit 5 bulbs per visit. This program is for SF residents only. Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury, a toxic metal that can cause harm to human health and the environment. You must be at home when the waste is picked up. Priority is given to disabled residents. We do not accept explosives (firecrackers, ammunition, etc.), cyanides, water reactive chemicals, etc. Do not bring in containers larger than 5 gallons in size. We are open 8am to 4pm Thursday through Saturday, except holidays, the day after Thanksgiving and December 26. Please label all materials. Do not mix materials. Keep all waste in original containers. Make sure lids are on tight. Don’t put hazardous waste in the back seat of car.
