G. Robert Kerr Director P D 2 II Pollution Prevention Assistance Division M. Georgia Department of Natural Resources Guide to Best Management Practices for Household Hazardous Waste and Radon ill an effort to provide local governments with easy-to-use, reliable resources on household hazardous waste, the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (p2AD) has developed the enclosed Guide to Best Management Practices for Household Hazardous Waste and Radon. In cooperation with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), University of Georgia 's Cooperative Extension Service, and the Department ofCommunity Affairs (DCA), the Guide is being distributed to county extension agents, health departments, recycling coordinators, Keep America Beautiful affiliates, and fire departments. The Cooperative Extension Service, DCA, and EPD will play an important role in assisting p2AD in the dissemination of materials as p2AD implements its Household Hazardous Waste Prevention and Management Program. This Guide is designed to assist local governments in answering citizens' inquiries about household hazardous waste. The Guide, which contains information on many common household hazardous wastes, is divided into 8 broad product categories. Each product page contains information on product function, ingredients, source reduction options, reuse and recycling tips, and disposal methods. The Guide also includes several user-friendly features. For example, the Guide is color-coded by category and the product pages within each category are alphabetized to assist you in easily finding the information. The Guide also contains information on speci fie household hazardous waste manag~ment programs, activities, and collection sites listed by county, poison prevention information, -and a comprehensive list of resources. The information in the Guide has been extensively reviewed by the Environmental Protection Division. trade associations, local recycling coordinators, and experts in the field. p2AD will update the Guide as product information and programs change. Please notify p2AD of any name or address changes, so that as the Guide-is updated you will receive the new information. The Guide is just one of the resources available from p2AD as part of the Division's Household Hazardous Waste Prevention and Management Program. A copy outlining the objectives and elements of the Program is enclosed. If you would like additional information on the state's Household Hazardous Waste Prevention & Management Program or have any questions, please contact Stephanie Siniard at (404) 651-5120. We are confident that this Guide will be a valuable resource for you and your community. G.

Used filters contain motor oil and other impurities. Some of the oil components contained in the filter may be considered ignitable and/or toxic. o Source Reduction There are no non-toxic alternatives to oil filters. To minimize the need to change oil filters: keep the vehicle properly maintained; use one of the more efficient filters now on the market that can last up to one year or 12,500 miles, instead ofthe 6,000 to 10,000 miles for conventional filters; purchase a car with a lifetime filter; use a washable, reusable filter; and install a by-pass filter that is changed every 25,000 miles." While these suggestions may minimize the need to change oil filters, they may not be practical or readily available options. o Recycling/Reuse Oil filters are recyclable. The oil contained in the filter and steel components may be recoverable. To prepare the oil filter for recycling, remove the filter from a warm engine and drain it immediately into a clean container, using the gravity draining method described below. While the remaining three methods described are acceptable methods of removing the oil from the filter, they are usually only available to a consumer who takes his car to a business that changes automobile oil. The four methods for removing oil from oil filters are: Gravity Draining: Place the filter with the gasket side down in a drain pan. If the filter has an anti-drain valve, then the "dome end" ofthe filter should be punctured with a screwdriver. The filter should be allowed to drain for twelve to twenty-four hours. Crushing: A mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic device is used to crush the filter. This squeezes out the used oil and compacts the filter. Disassembly: A mechanical device separates the filter into its different parts. This allows most of the used oil to drain from the filter. Air Pressure: The filter is placed in a machine that uses air pressure to force the used oil out of the filter. "The bypass filter pre-filters the oil before it runs through the standard oil filter. 17 ...---.. Pollution Prevention Assistance Division Georgia Department of Natural Resources ONE STOP SERVICE The leak-proof container used to capture the used oil should then be tightly closed and taken to a location that accepts used oil. Crushed or dismantled oil filters should be stored in a leak-proof container. Contact the local recycling center or local gas stations for the location of sites that accept used oil filters and used oil for recycling. Appendix F lists collection sites for used oil filters by county. See the section on motor oil for information on recycling the oil collected from the draining process. o Disposal If the oil filter cannot be recycled, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Under state law, gravity-drained oil filters can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. Before attempting to dispose of oil filters in this manner, contact the local landfill to find out ifthe landfill meets this requirement. If curbside waste pick-up is provided, contact the service provider to find out if the waste is being disposed of in a landfill which meets this requirement. AUTOMOTIVE ~ I~ ~I Solvents Solvents are liquids used to clean parts of the car and for a variety of other purposes. Chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents are typically used to clean brake pads, rotors, drums, calipers, other brake parts, and CV joints. Carburetor, fuel injector, and choke cleaners may contain detergents and chlorinated solvents that strip away contaminants. Engine degreasers are typically aerosol products containing surfactants and solvents that strip grease and clean metal. Some solvents may contain 2-butoxyl-l-ethanol, m-pyrol, aromatic naphtha, xylene, mineral spirits, n-propanol, naphthalene, 1,1,l-trichloroethane and petroleum distillates. Some components of solvents may be considered flammable, toxic, poisonous, and/or an eye, skin, or mucous membrane irritant. o Source Reduction Less toxic alternatives are available. These include: non-chlorinated degreasers and cleansers, products that contain citrus oil, and water-based cleaners that contain detergents and/or emulsifiers. o Recycling/Reuse Solvents are recyclable; however, recycling may not be economically feasible for homeowners due to the limited quantities generated. o Disposal If the solvent cannot be used up or given away, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal. Ifrecycling is not feasible, under state law, solidified solvents can be legally disposed of in a permitted, Subtitle D landfill. Before attempting to dispose of solvents in this manner, contact the local landfill to find out if the landfill meets this requirement. If curbside waste pick-up is provided, contact the service provider to find out if the waste is being disposed of in a landfill which meets this requirement. To solidify solvents, mix the solvent with enough absorbent material to absorb all free liquids and allow the mixture to harden. Place the solidified solvent in a bag or wrap in newspaper before disposing in a landfill. The empty container should be recycled, if possible. If it cannot be recycled, then the empty container can be disposed of in a landfill. Solvents should not be poured down drains (inside and outside), in the storm sewer, or on the ground. This may cause ground water contamination and/or operational problems with the septic system or POTW. 19 r--__ Pollution Prevention Assistance Division Georgia Department of Natural Resources ONE STOP SERVICE TIDS PAGE LEFT BLANK Transmission fluid is used to lubricate gears, bearings, and shafts within automatic transmissions and provides for heat dissipation. It also carries hydraulic pressure to cause transmission engagement and gear shifts. Transmission fluid contains hydrocarbons. Some ofthe components oftransmission fluid may be considered flammable, an irritant, and/or toxic. o Source Reduction There are no known less toxic.alternatives. There are ways, however, to minimize the use of and the hazards associated with transmission fluid. These include: keeping the vehicle properly maintained; watching for and repairing any leaks; avoiding spills while pouring or draining; buying only as much transmission fluid as needed; storing any unused transmission fluid in tightly capped containers so as to prevent it from being spilled or contaminated with other materials; and purchasing, if possible, recycled transmission fluid. o Recycling/Reuse Options Transmission fluid is recyclable. To recycle transmission fluid, place it in a clean, leak-proof container, and contact the local recycling center, gas stations, or auto repair stores for the location of sites that accept transmission fluid for recycling. o Disposal If the transmission fluid cannot be reused, given away, or recycled, then read and follow the product's label for the manufacturer's instructions on proper disposal.

According to the National Paint and Coatings Association, latex paint constitutes 80% ofthe consumer market.' Paint can be classified as latex ifthe label indicates that the paint can be cleaned up with soap and water. Latex paint may contain resins, ethylene glycol, esters, pigments (such as chromium) or (if old paint) lead. Some components of latex paint may be considered toxic, flammable, poisonous, and/or a skin, eye, or mucous membrane irritant. Latex paint also may contain emulsifiers, thickeners, and defoamers which can be skin irritants. Latex paint manufactured before August 1990 may also contain mercury. Some older paints may contain high levels oflead, as well. Although the Consumer Products Safety Commission banned the use oflead in consumer paints in 1978, older homes, especially those built prior to 1978, may have lead-based paint on interior surfaces. According to EPA, lead-based paint dust and chips are dangerous if swallowed or inhaled, especially to small children and pregnant women.' For more information about lead-based paints or a list of businesses that can test homes to determine if a home has surfaces painted with lead-based paint, contact the National Lead Information Clearinghouse at (800) 424-LEAD. o Source Reduction Alternatives to latex paint include limestone-based white wash, which is made up of hydrated lime, water, and salt and may not contain heavy metal pigments and alkyd resins. However, some white wash products may contain a mold inhibitor or other ingredients which may contain a heavy metal. Read the label to determine the ingredients of the selected white wash. To minimize the quantity of paint that must be managed: buy only as much paint as needed; and store paint cans, with tightly secured lids, upside down to prevent the paint from drying out. o Recycling/Reuse Options If the latex paint cannot be used, then contact a local high school drama department, charity, or church to see ifthey accept paint. For additional organizations that accept paint for reuse in Georgia, refer to Appendix C. However, some restrictions apply (e.g., certain sites may only accept full cans of paint). Latex paint can be recycled or reblended. Reblending is a process in which leftover paint is mixed with additives to form a new color. This is not a widespread practice due to a number of factors, including the resulting less consistent quality of the paint, the muddy color, and concerns that the paint may be contaminated by chemicals, metals, or bacteria.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are used in aerosol sprays, blowing agents, packing materials, solvents and refrigerants. CFCs are not flammable or toxic unless at high concentrations. They are, however, linked to stratospheric ozone depletion. Ozone in the stratosphere filters ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation is associated with skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. Ultraviolet radiation breaks down the CFCs into chlorine atoms which can combine with ozone. The process is repeated until the chlorine atom reacts with another chemical. An international treaty, the Montreal Protocol of 1987, calls for the reduction in the use vr of substances that deplete the ozone layer. Title of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 implements the treaty's goals and sets forth a time table for the eventual banning ofproduction of certain ozone depleting substances in the United States. As of January 1, 1996, CFCs are no longer being produced in the United States for use in air conditioners or refrigeration. CFCs can still be used, as long as the supplies are available. Additionally, air conditioning units must be serviced by certified technicians, and these technicians are required to capture and recycle the refrigerant. o Source Reduction In order to prevent the loss of CFCs to the atmosphere, air conditioners (home and car) should be checked for leaks annually; any leaks should be repaired. There are new alternative refrigerants available. The new refrigerants are evaluated by the EPA under its Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) to determine ifthey pose a risk to human health or to the environment. Automakers are producing new vehicles with a non-ozone depleting refrigerant called R-134a. You may also modify your air conditioning systems to use one ofthe EPA approved substitute refrigerants. EPA estimates that these modifications may cost between $100 to $800, depending upon the make, model and year ofthe vehicle. For more information on new refrigerants or ozone depletion, contact the EPA Stratospheric Ozone Hotline at 1(800) 296-1996 or http://www.epa.gov/docs/ozone/index.html. o Recycling/Reuse Options Freon is recyclable. Contact a local automobile service business or a home cooling service business with certified technicians for information. o Disposal It is illegal to vent CFCs to the atmosphere. CFCs including Freon must be recovered and recycled.

The ingredients found in some flea powders, collars, and sprays may include carbamates such as carbaryl, lindane, limonene, pyrethrins, and organophosphates such as chlorpyrifos. Many ingredients in flea powders and sprays may be considered toxic, poisonous, and/or a skin or eye irritant. o Source Reduction To minimize the quantity of flea powder or spray that must be managed or the hazards associated with its use: buy and use only the quantity needed; purchase short-lived products (e.g. pyrethrin-based sprays)'; and use up all of the flea powder or spray. Fleas may be impossible to control without the use of flea powders or sprays; however, alternatives for controlling flea populations exist. These include the following: vacuum or steam clean the carpet often to remove eggs and larvae (changing the bag after each use); use a flea comb to remove the fleas off pets (when fleas appear, dip the comb in soapy water - discard the water when finished); wash the pet's bedding frequently; wash pets with insecticidal soap; ask your veterinarian about oral flea controls or once-a-month sprays for your pet; apply a dehydrating agent such as silica gel to a pet's bedding and carpet to kill the flea larvae and eggs; and use insect growth regulators' (such as lufenuron or methoprene) to prevent the development of adult fleas. o Recycling/Reuse Options lfthe flea product cannot be used, then try offering it to civic or charitable organizations that might have a use for it. Do not give away or use insecticides that are labeled "Restricted Use" or that have been banned. Only state-licensed applicators may apply "Restricted Use" insecticides.

Some of the ingredients in insecticides include organophosphates such as chlorpyrifos, carbamates, petroleum distillates, and pyrethrins.' Some older insecticides may contain compounds that are now banned or restricted for household use. Many insecticides contain ingredients that may be considered toxic, flammable, an irritant, poisonous, and/or are slow to biodegrade. To determine if you are dealing with a pesticide, read the container label or contact the manufacturer. Pesticides are divided into four categories. Category I pesticides, which should only be used by professionals with special training, are highly toxic and have the signal word "Danger" on the label. These products may also contain the word "Poison" on the label or a skull and cross bones. Homeowners should not purchase pesticides in the "Danger" category unless they have special training. Category II pesticides are moderately toxic and have the signal word "Warning" on the label. Category III pesticides are slightly toxic arid have the signal word "Caution" on the label. Category IV pesticides are relatively non-toxic and have the signal word "Caution" on the label. o Source Reduction There are alternatives to using insecticides. One way is to reduce insect populations by: working to prevent insects from entering your home by caulking or covering entry ways such as holes, cracks, or gaps around pipes and electric lines or screening windows and vents; keeping food covered and not leaving any food, including pet food, out at night; preventing dampness under sinks and around toilets; removing hiding places for insects such as piles of old newspapers and garbage bags; and cleaning up ants and their trail with soapy water, and sealing the opening where they are entering the house. If insects appear, consider using insect growth regulators (such as fire ant or roach baits) or traps before using insecticides. If you must purchase and use insecticides: purchase and use only as much as needed; buy products that are designed specifically for the pest; buy the least toxic product possible; make sure it is labeled for the area where it is going to be used; follow label directions closely (as they are your best source for safe use directions); make spot applications rather than broad applications; avoid storing products for long periods oftime (since they may become less effective); and use up all of the product (if you cannot use the products up, try offering it to civic or charitable organizations that might have a use for it). 3Pyrethrins are a less toxic ingredient derived from chrysanthemums. 89 Pollution Prevention Assistance Division Georgia Department of Natural Resources ONE STOP SERVICE By following these suggestions, you can minimize the amount of products that must be managed or the hazards associated with their use. o Recycling/Reuse Options If the insecticide cannot be used, then try offering it to civic or charitable organizations that might have a use for it.

For more information about disposing of a specific insecticide or a banned or "Restricted Use" insecticide, contact one of the pesticide resources in Appendix C. Place the solidified insecticides in a bag or wrap in newspaper before disposing in a landfill. The empty container should be triple rinsed (using the rinse water as you would the product) and recycled, if possible. Refer to the "empty insecticide container" section above for more information.

Lawn care products include insecticides to control insects, herbicides to control weeds, and fungicides/bactericides used to control mildew, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides may contain one or more ofthe following: glyphosate, captan, anilazine, chlorpyrifos, carbaryl, petroleum distillates, and pyrethrins. Some ofthe ingredients in lawn care products may be considered toxic, poisonous, and/or an eye and skin irritant. Some fertilizers contain pesticides.

Category III pesticides are slightly toxic and have the signal word "Caution" on the label. Category IV pesticides are relatively nontoxic and have the signal word "Caution" on the label. o Source Reduction Alternatives to hazardous lawn care products exist. One approach to reducing the use of pesticides is to use integrated pest management (IPM) practices. IPM uses physical (manually removing weeds), biological (using lady bugs or other natural predators), and chemical (using the least toxic pesticides) controls to maintain a healthy lawn. If garden plants and lawns are healthy and suitable for the location, then there are fewer weeds, diseases, and pests; and consequently, there is less need for pesticides. Also remember that it is not always necessary to remove every weed or insect from the lawn. In order to decrease the likelihood of infestation by pests, contact the local county extension office on how to keep plants healthy and for a list of disease-resistant plants that are suitable for your area. The county extension office will also have advice on the use of beneficial insects and environmentally benign pesticides like insecticidal soap. Other ways to reduce pesticide use and maintain a healthy lawn include: adjusting the pH of your lawn (contact your local extension office for instructions); avoiding cutting your lawn too short or using a dull blade; watering deeply rather than often; leaving grass clippings and leaves on your lawn (once decomposed it is a fertilizer); weeding by hand or using a hoe; and using pest traps or baits. If you must purchase and use a lawn care product, purchase and use only as much as needed; buy the least toxic product possible; make sure it is labeled for the area where it is going to be used; follow label directions closely (as they are your best source for safe use directions); make spot applications rather than broad applications; avoid storing products for long periods of time (since they may become less effective); and use up all of the product ( if you cannot use the product up, try offering it to civic or charitable organizations that might have a use for it.) By following these suggestions, you can minimize the amount of products that must be managed or the hazards associated with their use. -Pollution Prevention Assistance Division Georgia Department of Natural Resources 91 o Reuse/Recycling Options If you cannot use all of the lawn care product, then give it away to a neighbor, or a civic or charitable organization.

It comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into homes through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Homes trap radon inside, where it can build up. Nearly lout of 15 homes in the U.S. is estimated to have elevated radon levels, and radon is estimated to cause about 14,000 lung cancer deaths each year. Testing for Radon The Surgeon General and the EPA recommend testing all homes on the lowest lived-in area ofthe home for radon. It is also a good idea to have a radon test done, if you are remodeling your home, especially a lower level (e.g., basement) that has not been lived in before. The amount of radon in the air is measured in "picocuries of radon per Liter of air," or ''pCi/L.'' The only way to know if your home has high levels of radon is to test the home. Your neighbor's radon level is not an indication of the level of radon in your home. Homes which are next to each other can have different indoor radon levels. Any type of home whether new or old or with a basement or a crawl space can have high levels of radon. There are two options for testing your home for radon. One option is to test the home yourself, and the other is to hire a professional to test your home. If you choose to test your home yourself, you can purchase radon test kits at local hardware or discount department stores or by mail order. Some health departments offer free testing or test kits at a reduced cost; contact the local health department for more information. Radon test kits can also be ordered by calling the Radon Hotline at 1-800.SOS-RADON. Look for radon test kits listed by EPA's testing program. The device may display the phrase "Meets EPA Requirements" or "EPA listed." EPA recommends either taking an initial short-term test for at least 48 hours, and after the first test has been completed taking a follow-up short-term test for at least 48 hours. Or taking two short-term tests at the same location for at least 48 hours. If possible, the home should be kept closed at least twelve hours prior to placing the two test kits. The windows and doors should be kept closed as much as possible during the test as well. A second option is to hire an EPA-listed measurement service provider to test your home (refer to page 95 for information on how to find an EPA-listed radon measurement service provider). If the short-term test results indicate radon levels of 4 pCiIL or higher, EPA recommends that a follow-up test be performed. . 93 Pollution Prevention Assistance Division Georgia Department of Natural Resources ONE STOP SERVICE Short-term versus long-term tests Short-term tests remain in the home from two to 90 days, depending on the device. There are two groups of devices which are commonly used for short-term testing. The passive device group includes alpha track detectors, charcoal canisters, charcoal liquid scintillation detectors and electret ion chambers. The active device group consists of different types of continuous monitors. Because radon levels tend to vary from day to day and from season to season, a short term test is less likely than a long-term test to reveal a home's year-round average radon level. However, if results are needed quickly, short-term testing may be used. Long-term tests remain in the home for more than 90 days. Alpha track and electret ion chamber detectors are commonly used for this type of testing. A long-term test will give a reading that is more reflective of a home's year-round average radon level than a short-term test. Fixing or Mitigating a Home EPA recommends fixing or mitigating a home ifthe results of one long-term test, or the average of two short term tests, taken in the lowest lived-in area of the home show radon levels of 4 pCi/L or higher. Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L may still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced. Radon levels in most homes can be reduced to 2 pCi/L or below. When mitigating a home, EPA recommends selecting a radon contractor who is listed in EPA's Radon Proficiency Program (refer to page 97 for information on how to find an EPA-listed mitigation service provider). The cost to fix a home typically ranges from $500 to $2,500. Your home should be tested again after the mitigation is complete to be sure that the radon levels have been reduced. Radon Resistant Construction Builders can install radon resistant features into your new home which may minimize your home's radon levels and make it easier to fix a problem if it occurs later. Radon resistant construction techniques are typically more cost effective than having to install a mitigation system after the home is completed. The cost for a passive system typically ranges between $350 - $500.

A-I Appendix B Source Reduction Tips for Household Hazardous Waste 1 Buying the least toxic product available. Buying only the amount needed for the task. Using the product up or when finished with the product giving it away to a neighbor or charity. Reading the label and following the instructions. Avoid using more of the product than the label recommends. Buying concentrated products, which generate less packaging waste. According to the Soap and Detergent Association, concentrates use 15 - 50% less material than traditional packaging. Buying products with packaging materials that are made from recycled materials. Less energy is used to manufacture packaging made from recycled materials than packaging made from virgin materials. Using recycled materials also reduces the natural resources that would normally be used during the manufacturing process. Buying products that have multiple functions (e.g., laundry detergent with fabric softeners). This eliminates the need for two products, therefore reducing packaging waste. Buying refillable containers - refills contain less packaging material. According to the Soap and Detergent Association, refills contain 15 - 80 % less materials than primary containers. Implementing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to reduce pesticide usage. IPM consists of the following controls in descending order of preference: physical (i.e., using traps or manually killing pests), biological (i.e., using predatory insects), or chemical (i.e., insect growth hormones.) I Some ofthese tips were taken from the Soap and Detergent Association's brochure, Source Reduction. B-1 Safe Use and Storage Habits Read and follow the manufacturer's label on how to use the product. Place the date on the container. Use the oldest first. Do not mix cleaners together or with other products. Certain products are incompatible. For example, ammonia and chlorine form a dangerous gas when mixed together. Use aluminum roaster pans to hold small containers ofpesticides to contain any spills or leaks. Store similar products together. If possible, lock products, especially pesticides, in a cabinet or out of reach of children and pets. If products cannot be locked in a cabinet, then store hazardous products on sturdy shelves which are located high enough to be beyond the reach of small children, but below adult eye level to prevent the product from tipping over and spilling during retrieval. Store pesticides in a plastic storage bin or bucket in case of spill. Keep pesticides separate to prevent cross-contamination. Avoid mixing pesticides near a well or a drain. Keep products in the original container with the label intact. If the product must be transferred to another container, then transfer the label to the new container or clearly label the container.
