With spring upon us, it's a good time to remind everyone to consider purchasing less hazardous Cleaning Products, Lawn Chemicals/fertilizers Etc.

Less hazardous products often work as well as their more hazardous counterparts and are much more environmentally friendly! The best way to determine which are the least hazardous products is to READ THE LABEL!

Source Reduction:

As of June 1st,2005 CRT's(cathode ray tubes) are banned from being landfilled at the Kandiyohi County Landfill.

Examples of CRT's are television sets and computer monitors. Prior to July 1st 2005 landfills in Minnesota were able to landfill CRT's, provided they were from households (for several years business's have been banned from landfilling CRT's). This new state law applies to regular households.

What hazardous materials do CRT's contain? Lead and small amount of other hazardous metals. Lead is a heavy soft metal that is hazardous to both humans and animals. CRT's are collected at the Kandiyohi County Landfill (during regular business hours) at a cost of $15.00 each.
