In the SF Bay Area, the street drains flow directly to the Bay. Fortunately, all my toxic waste ends up in my neighbor's flower bed ;) 


bs (not a tree hugger, but don't like to mess up the environment either)

y'all just think to much.... Wash the things in the sink with dish soap 
and then wash them in your washer or the one at the quarter laundry... move 
on... 

Hazardous waste talk is simply crap... more left wing dribble... ( sorry it 
was just sounding a bit to tree huggerish to me ) 

The waste water is going to get scrubbed at the local plant if it ever makes 
it that far without clogging up your sewer line first... ( much more fun and 
expensive ).... 

Or just pitch them in the trash.... 

Personally... I actually do wash them at home in the above discribed 
manner... and move on... ( but I pitch the really nasty ones )
