What did you do today not on your truck...

[Stocker]

Old paint is hazardous waste here, too. California, go figure....

No truck today. The bike did double duty. Toy Run and then our Back the Blue. Weather held out just fine. Good turn out on the run, which means a bunch of happy kids! If you want to see our run, here it is.

Wasn't that long ago the county would take your old paint and use it to paint over graffiti. I don't think they do that anymore.

My paint guy use it to paint the inside of his Dumpster.

They still take paint here Once a Year at a Collection center.

Dropped off the big guns on Friday. Dug the hole Saturday morning and started pushing the barn in. Finished pushing it in on Sunday and last picture is Noon on Monday. Finished it all up by 3pm.

My comment was tongue & cheek. I guess old paint cans are called hazardous waste in all states. I just find it ironic that the remains of a can are hazardous waste while full cans line the shelves at stores and there is nothing to stop a 6 year old from buying a can. I'm saying they sure use the term hazardous waste loosely. I wasn't sure what the status was for old paint cans but I had heard of a real stringent and "forward moving" local county landfill that tears open trash bags to see if any paint cans are in and rejects those. I figure they like to see them tossed on the side of the road. I've always tossed them in my curbside garbage container and never had a problem. I see people put sawdust in to absorb the fluid.

Here's my peeve. If they are so concerned about excess paint being hazardous waste, then why has it gotten to where buying two quarts costs about what a gallon does? It used to take three, quarts went up. So now, for economics it makes more sense to buy the gallon if you 'might' need to get into the third qt. Environmentally, that has created an excess of waste paint, a lot of half gallons (or more) get tossed

Growing up in NY, I saw a lot of beautiful old barns collapse from snow loads.

That barn was MASSIVE!

Yes, big barn. That Derecho (wind storm) that went through ruined a lot of old barns around here. Now I have a lot more yard to mow...

We are supposed to have 50-70 mile an hour winds again tomorrow. I need to batten down the hatches.... Bummer

My garbage company will take paints as long as they are hard meaning dryed . I've used cat litter to dry it . Guess as long as it cant leach into the soil it's all good . This is for modern paints not the old lead paints. We had a hell of a time getting rid of all the old Sinclair green paint my uncle had from the gas station . Some of the cans were 60 years old. Seems he would get a few gallons for free every year from Sinclair to paint the islands and trim .
