RE: Hazardous Waste Disposal in Latah County vs. Whitman County????

["Stephen Cooke" <scooke@uidaho.edu>]

Dear Visionaries,
We have household hazard waste day in Moscow once a year because it is
expensive and year round storage is a problem. The one-day event cost $30-40
thousand. With an expansion of the Moscow recycling ctr in the future, year
round household hazardous waste collection will be possible and likely.

Comstock)

In Idaho, encouraging the safe disposal of hazardous waste is considered
unwarranted guv'ment intrusion...
