• In 1996, the automotive industry consumed 35% of all iron produced in the U.S., over 14% of all U.S. steel, 27% of all aluminum, nearly 63% of all natural/synthetic rubber, and an estimated 4% of all U.S. plastic production. 1
• Recycling vehicles provides enough steel to produce almost 13 million new vehicles. 2

What To Do

• Donate working vehicles (or even those in need of repair) to a reuse outlet. Good News Garage in Burlington (802-864-3667) accepts vehicles, repair them, and gets them to folks who need them. Contact them directly for vehicle age/condition restrictions.
• See CVSWMD Junk Car Removal for information as soon as you’ve determined your vehicle is no longer usable or fixable. Do not leave unwanted vehicles to deteriorate. The fluids—antifreeze, gasoline and various oils—can leak out and contaminate the soil and water sources. Drain fluids before storage whenever possible.

Fluorescent lighting offers energy efficiency and savings in energy costs for schools, offices, and many homes. But it’s important for those who use fluorescent lighting to understand that these products contain mercury and require special handling and disposal.

The energy savings makes switching from incandescent lighting to fluorescent lighting an easy decision for many. According to energystar.gov, if just one room in every U.S. household used Energy Star labeled lighting, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by 1 trillion pounds. The potential savings on electric bills is equally impressive. Switching five incandescent bulbs to fluorescent bulbs can save more than $60 every year in energy costs.

But the disposal concerns remain. All mercury-added lamps manufactured after November 30, 2003 and sold in Vermont must bear a label which states that it “contains mercury,” or bear the symbol “Hg” inside a circle on the lamp. (“Hg is the scientific symbol for mercury on the periodic table of elements.) This symbol signifies that the lamp contains mercury.

This labeling marks a victory for consumer advocates and those concerned about human and environmental health. Consumers will now be able to tell definitively if a lighting product contains mercury or not. Anything that contains mercury must be handled carefully and disposed of through a hazardous waste collection. Please don’t put fluorescent lighting in the garbage!

The concerns are many. When mercury-containing lamps are broken, the mercury is released into the environment. Even the small amount of mercury-laden phosphor powder contained in lamps can damage lakes and streams and poison fish and wildlife. Lamps disposed of in the garbage will be broken at some point in the disposal process-whether in your garbage can, when they are picked up by a hauler, when they are dumped into a garbage compactor, or when they are dumped into a landfill. The mercury is then released, and can cause immediate health concerns for any people exposed to it, or long term risks for the environment and ourselves as a part of it.

Mercury can accumulate in the ecosystem, increasing in concentration higher up the food chain-from microorganisms, to fish, to fish-eating predators like otters and loons, and to humans who eat fish and other foods contaminated with mercury. Mercury contamination of fish is a growing concern, and women of child-bearing age and children are cautioned to limit consumption of particular types of fish. For information about fish caught in Vermont, see the Vermont fish advisory which can be accessed through the Vermont mercury website or by calling the Vermont Department of Health at 800-464-4343.

Safe handling and proper disposal of mercury-containing products like fluorescent lamps is critical to prevent the release of more mercury into the environment. Bring all mercury-containing products to a household hazardous waste collection. The District holds hazardous waste collections May through October for residents; small businesses and municipalities may schedule an appointment to utilize the collections. The District can also offer guidance on how to properly package fluorescent bulbs and other mercury-containing products for safe transport to a hazardous waste collection and safe storage in between collections.

Traveling With Bulbs: Package your spent fluorescent bulbs carefully for the trip. Wrap them in bubble wrap or other packing material, and place them in a container so they won’t roll around and be at risk of breaking. And carefully place them as far from passengers as possible for the trip–in a car trunk or at the back of the vehicle.

NEW! Home Depot is now accepting compact fluorescent bulbs for recycling

But the bulbs contain mercury and must be handled carefully and recycled at the end of their use. Please don’t dispose of fluorescent bulbs in the trash! The mercury released from them can seriously impact human and environmental health.

• Where to Recycle Fluorescent Bulbs Year-Round
• If you break a fluorescent bulb, follow the Broken Bulb Guidelines from the VT Agency of Natural Resources.

For example, crystal drain cleaners and oven cleaners contain lye, a corrosive chemical that can cause permanent eye and skin damage. Many metal polishes and cleaners are both toxic and flammable. These products may contain petroleum distillates, which can harm the lungs if inhaled and can result in chemical pneumonia. Furniture polishes may also contain petroleum distillates, and the lemon-scented brands can fool children into thinking they’re food products.

Children under the age of 6 are at a higher risk for poisoning by household chemicals. Keep the Poison Control Center number by your telephone — 800-222-1222.

In this age group, children identify things by color, size, and pattern. Because of that, children may be fooled by toxic look-alikes — cleaning products that look like familiar foods. This may be due to the color of the product, such as a clear plastic jug of apple juice and a clear plastic jug of a common wood cleaner. Or, it may be due to the shape and color of the packaging.

Safer Options

Here are some ways to make cleaning less hazardous:

• Clean more frequently-don’t wait for it to become a big job that’s more difficult to clean.
• Choose manual solutions, like using a mechanical snake to clear a clogged drain.
• Choose less toxic cleaners at the store. Read the label for the warning words, which are the key to knowing just how toxic a product is. For example, the word “Danger” means the product is highly toxic-a taste to a teaspoon may be fatal for a 60 lb. human or animal. The word “Caution” means the product has a lower toxicity. Better yet, choose non-toxic products safe enough to require no warning words.
• Make your own non-toxic cleaners! See the Non-Toxic Cleaner Recipes booklet.

Safe Disposal

Be sure to dispose of toxic household cleaners carefully. Bring them to a CVSWMD hazardous waste collection. Call for more information and assistance.

Please note: This is for button cell batteries ONLY.

Residents can still safely dispose of button cell batteries at CVSWMD Household Hazardous Waste collections, but this is a convenient year-round option.

About 3 billion household batteries are used and discarded in the U.S. each year, creating more than 125,000 tons of battery garbage.

Reduce the amount of battery waste you generate by avoiding battery-required items when possible, and investing in rechargeable batteries. But once you’re done with those batteries–whether they’re regular batteries or rechargeables–disposing of them properly is essential.

Household batteries may contain heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, and lead. Improper disposal may provide a means for these heavy metals to be released into the air, groundwater, lakes, and streams via landfill runoff and incineration.

Knowing about the risks of exposure is the first step in protecting yourself and your family. Limiting your exposure and taking actions to seal or replace the wood is the next step.

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about arsenic treated lumber.

What is Arsenic Treated Lumber?

Arsenic treated lumber, also referred to as CCA (chromated copper arsenic) treated lumber, is a type of pressure treated wood. Pressure treating wood involves saturating it with a wood preservative. In the case of CCA, the wood is saturated with a solution containing 22% pure arsenic.

How can I tell if my lumber is pressure treated or treated with arsenic?

If you’re purchasing the lumber from a lumberyard or home supply store the store staff should be able to tell you. Arsenic treated lumber is being phased out and will no longer be available for residential construction projects after December 31, 2003.

If you’re looking at an existing structure or lumber supply there is no sure way to tell. Pressure treated lumber is typically green tinted and may be marked or tagged with the names of the chemicals used to treat it. The Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG) recommends that if you are unsure of the origin of your pressure treated wood, to be safe you should assume all your pressure treated wood is treated with arsenic.

Examples of common residential uses of arsenic treated lumber include: wood used in play structures, decks, picnic tables, landscaping timbers, residential fencing, patios, railings, docks, walkways, and boardwalks.

Why is arsenic a problem?

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that is poisonous and a known carcinogen. Health effects from arsenic exposure include skin lesions, cancers of the bladder, liver kidney, lung, skin, and nasal passages, as well as brain, heart and lung disease, diabetes and reproductive problems. Arsenic related diseases typically develop slowly over many years. Exposure to arsenic is cumulative, which means it builds up in the body over time.

A 12-foot long, 2-inch by 6-inch board of arsenic treated lumber contains about an ounce of arsenic, or enough to provide a lethal dose of arsenic to 250 adults.

Arsenic is water soluble, meaning it dissolves readily in water. Rainwater, deck washes; even wet hands and feet can leach the arsenic out of the wood and into the soil below or into the human body in the case of bare skin contact with the wood.

According to a sampling by the Environmental Working Group and the Healthy Building Network, an area of arsenic treated wood the size of a four-year-old’s hand contains an average of 120 times the amount of arsenic allowed in a 6 ounce glass of water by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

If arsenic is so dangerous, why is arsenic treated wood still legal?

Arsenic for use as a pesticide has long been banned. Arsenic treated wood is being phased out. In February 2002 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a voluntary decision by the building industry to remove consumer use of new arsenic treated lumber products by December 31, 2003 in favor of new alternative wood preservatives.

This effects virtually all residential uses of arsenic treated lumber including wood used in play structures, decks, picnic tables, landscaping timbers, residential fencing, patios, railings, docks, walkways, and boardwalks. By January 2004 the EPA will not allow arsenic treated lumber for any residential uses.

I was planning a building project that used some arsenic treated wood that I had already purchased. Should I go ahead and use it since I’ve already purchased it?

The Vermont Public Interest Research Group recommends that you do not install any new structures made with arsenic treated wood where human contact will occur with the structure or with the soil directly below the structure.

CVSWMD adopted a policy to not construct any new District facilities with arsenic treated lumber due to concerns about its effects on public health and the environment, and recommends that you consider using an alternative to arsenic treated lumber in all your new construction projects.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends that arsenic treated lumber not be used in any new construction where the lumber is in proximity to food or animal feed. Arsenic does not move very far in the soil and is not taken up by plants, but it is not recommended for use in constructing garden beds or planting containers.

Examples of arsenic treated lumber alternatives include naturally rot resistant woods available in Vermont like white cedar, tamarack, and hemlock; or manufactured products like recycled steel, recycled plastic or recycled plastic marine pilings, fiberglass or concrete. Some brands of manufactured lumber recommended by the Vermont Public Interest Research Group includingTrex ( www.trex.com) and ChoiceDek (www.choicedek.com ). VPIRG also recommends that the recycled plastic lumber you choose does not contain PVC.

I know I have arsenic treated wood structures, what should I do?

If children will use the structures, the CVSWMD recommends that they be sealed at least once per year with a water-based sealant available at home supply and hardware stores. For structures that have soil underneath, CVSWMD recommends that you consider the possibility that the soil is contaminated with arsenic which has leached out of the wood through rain and snow. Arsenic does not move more than one foot through the soil, but once it is in the soil it never leaves. Rain, snow, or vegetation does not remove arsenic from the soil.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not recommend that arsenic treated structures be torn down or that the soils around the structures be removed.

The Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG) recommends that you remove and dispose of in a lined landfill all arsenic treated structures and the soil from around them. If you are not willing to remove a structure, VPIRG recommends that you seal the structure annually, or every six months if children are using the structure, with water based latex paint. Oil based sealants are not recommended because of their toxicity.

Sealants recommended by VPIRG include Bioshield, Miller Paint, and AFM Safe Coat Paints.

If you have arsenic treated structures, like a deck, don’t store children’s toys, tools, or any items that will come into contact with humans or pets underneath them because they will become contaminated with arsenic leaching down from above.

Does the arsenic ever completely wash out of the wood?

No. Arsenic will continue to leach out of the wood over its life span. Washing decks and other arsenic treated wood structures with special deck washes, acids, and brighteners speeds up the release of arsenic from the wood, but does not remove it from the wood. Use of these products on arsenic treated structures is not recommended.

I have decided to remove my arsenic treated wood structure. What do I do with it?

Currently the state and federal government do not classify arsenic treated wood as a hazardous waste requiring special collection and disposal, although they may in the future. Rather, the state advises that arsenic treated wood, and soils from under these structures, should be disposed of in a lined landfill. Arsenic treated wood should NEVER be burned (the smoke is poisonous), buried, or disposed of in an unlined construction and demolition debris landfill.

Soil can be bagged and disposed of with regular trash disposal in a lined landfill.

In the CVSWMD, the CV Transfer Station (479-2450) and the WSI Landfill (244-8888) accept arsenic treated wood and contaminated soil for disposal. The Casella drop off center in Montpelier and the District Recycling Depots (Wilson, Williamstown, Bradford, and Northfield) can accept small amounts of wood and soil for disposal. For large amounts of soil and wood you may consider renting a disposal container from a company like Casella (223-7045) or WSI (800-981-5213)-this is probably the best option if you cannot haul the debris yourself.

There are also waste haulers operating in the CVSWMD (listed in the resource notebook) that may be able to pick up the debris for you. Some tips for choosing a hauler:

• Keep in mind that haulers who use “packer” or compacting trucks (mainly Casella and WSI) can only handle small amounts of wood at a time, they can however take bagged soil.
• Haulers who use pick up or dump trucks are capable of picking up slightly larger loads if special arrangements are made with them.

  Is it safe to handle arsenic treated wood?

  • Contact the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG) at 223-5221, email vpirg@vpirg.org go to www.vpirg.org
  • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains a section on its Web site for information on arsenic treated wood.
  • Information from the treated wood industry can be found at www.treatedwood.com
  • For the Environmental Working Group and Healthy Building Network report “Poisoned Playgrounds” visit www.ewg.org
  • For information on green building products visit www.buildinggreen.com
  • The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) at www.atsde.cdc.gov is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ATSDR provides ToxFAQs for a range of chemicals. www.atsde.cdc.gov

When handling arsenic treated wood there is always a risk of arsenic exposure. Minimize your exposure by always washing your hands (or any part of your skin that had contact with the wood) after touching arsenic treated wood. Wash children’s hands after every exposure to arsenic treated wood. Never eat or smoke after handling arsenic treated wood. Those working with arsenic treated wood should wash work clothes separately from other household clothing before wearing them again.

To be safe, always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and wear gloves a facemask (or dust mask) and goggles when working with arsenic treated wood. Your local hardware or building supply store may have more information on safe handling.

Sawing and cutting this wood should be restricted to outdoors only. Dispose of sawdust from cutting arsenic treated wood in a lined landfill.

Safe storage of hazardous products between uses or between collections is vital to keeping your home environment healthy.

Some General Guidelines and Storage Tips

• Keep items out of reach of children and pets.
• If possible, store items away from living spaces.
• Make sure all lids and caps are tight to prevent the product and vapors/odors from leaking into living spaces.
• Keep items away from both heat sources (for safety) and freezing temperatures (to prolong product life).
• Stacking paint cans on top of each other, especially on high shelves, can be risky. Try a lidded box to prevent access instead.
• Paint stored upside down (with lid firmly in place!) will keep it fresher. Oil-based paint can remain useable up to 15 years if stored properly, so a little care can keep the product useable.

Tips for Traveling with Hazardous Products

Safe disposal will require you to bring your items to either a business or recycling depot that accepts them year-round or to a seasonal CVSWMD household hazardous waste collection. In either case, you’ll need to take care to prevent spills while enroute and protect yourself in your car.

• Place tightly capped/lidded products in a box or other sturdy carrier and put it either in your trunk or in the back seat. Ideally, you want to have the products as far away from the driver/passengers as possible in case of any mishaps enroute.
• If possible, keep kids and pets out of the car while you’re transporting hazardous products to be disposed of.
• Fluorescent bulbs: Do NOT tape bulbs together. This can actually cause bulbs to break. Instead, wrap in bubble wrap or other protective wrapping and place in a sealed plastic bag-just in case the bulb should break along the way. Be sure to pack the bulbs in either a box or in such a way that they won’t roll around in your car or trunk.
