Where to get rid of household hazardous materials

That's why Philadelphia held hazardous materials drop-off on Thursday.

Residents were allowed to drop off items such as old or unused cans of oil-based paint, solvents, pesticides, gasoline, kerosene, used oil, or antifreeze.

City officials say 1,900 Philadelphia residents dropped off over 70 tons of potentially hazardous material and 15 tons of computer equipment so far for the City's 2010 Household Hazardous Waste program.
