Entertainment: Lisa Schell reports that Family Day was a huge success. The weather was perfect, water not too cold (as evidenced by all the kids swimming)! Plenty of hot dogs and hamburgers were on the grill, plus cold drinks. Thanks to everyone who brought a dish. Everything was delicious. A reminder, our next community event is the July 4th parade.

Got Any Really Bad Stuff in the Garage?Recently I inherited all kinds of lawn and garden chemicals from my parents. “Oh joy!” I thought as I pondered the wonders of a pest-less garden with towering rose bushes. However, I couldn’t shake the visions of floating fish, sick birds and algae bloom in our creek. “Just toss it all in the trash” was my gut reflex, but that, too rang a bit flat. What about the groundwater that will eventually get contaminated?Back to my trusty computer and web-search. It turns out that I needed to locate a Household Hazardous Material Collection site. I did so, and below are the results. Please note that the various landfills take HHW only a few days out of the year, so plan ahead. See you at the Glen Burnie dump on June 20th!!! Local Household Hazardous Materials (HHW) Collection ProgramsThe Annotated Code of Maryland, Environment Article § 9-1801, defines Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is any waste material, including garbage or trash, derived from a household that would be listed as hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act but for the fact that the waste is derived from a household. Household hazardous waste may include: agricultural chemicals, cleaning agents and solvents, paint, pesticides, and preservatives.Maryland does not regulate HHW as hazardous waste and Federal law allows for the disposal of HHW in household trash. However, due to the potential of HHW to cause physical injury, contaminate septic tanks or wastewater treatment systems, and present hazards to children and pets, MDE recommends the proper recycling/disposal of HHW materials at local HHW collection programs.Special handling is required to dispose of them properly. Materials collected are recycled, or disposed in hazardous waste landfills or incinerators. A licensed private company under contract to the County provides these services.New disposal chambers at the Millersville landfill, called "cells," are not only double-lined, but include a system that collects any liquids (leachate) which pass through the trash. This liquid still must be removed, treated, and disposed of at a County water reclamation facility. Despite advances in landfill management that minimize environmental risk, it is still important that the waste stream be rid of wastes that are hazardous.2009 Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off Days6/20/2009 Glen Burnie Convenience Center100 Dover Road, Glen Burnie7/25/2009 Millersville Landfill & Resource Recovery Facility389 Burns Crossing Road, Severn
