Then the container (with the lid off) can be placed with regular garbage. Latex paint is also accepted at the Regional Collection Center for $1 per gallon size container or smaller, $5 for a five gallon container.

Lawnmowers - After draining the gas and oil, lawnmowers can be taken to a scrap metal dealer for recycling. They can also be disposed of in the garbage.
