In San Diego, you have to PAY to dispose of this stuff *IF* you play by
the rules. You also have to make an APPOINTMENT on Saturday, 9-1, to
legally dispose of *ANY* hazardous waste, and take it to the dump
yourself! I think they may have temporary remote sites every 6 months or
so at other sites. Guess where most of it goes????? They have some of
the largest sets of blinders in California for the environmental waste
folks here! OC was great in that respect.
