Get rid of the paint, the aerosol cans, the chemicals, the works, on either Saturday, October 31 at the UMass Boston Boston Harbor Campus, 100 Morrissey Blvd. or on November 21 at the Boston Public Works Yard, 315 Gardner Street in West Roxbury.  Log on to www.cityofboston.gov/publicworks/recycling/hazardouswaste.asp for directions and a full list of items accepted. No televisions or computers, please, and bring proof of residency with you.

This just in  from our friend Penny Cherubino at www.bostonzest.com.  The directions on the City’s web site are wrong (ah, the government!), but Penny has posted the correct information at : http://www.bostonzest.com/2009/10/boston-hazardous-waste-collection-days-fall-2009.html
