Share Free Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Options with Clients
Many residents may not start to think about their options for disposing toxic waste—including paints, batteries and fertilizers—until the very last minute when they are moving. Sometimes they even ask their Realtor to take it in, which is actually illegal unless the realtor signs a special waiver. To help Realtors avoid this issue, San Mateo County Health has provided an informational postcards that you can share with clients, which explains their toxic waste disposal options. Clients of SAMCAR Realtors who bring the pamphlet to their HHW drop-off event appointment will receive a Home Depot gift card that may help them with the moving process.
