When cleaning out and organizing your home you need recycling, hauling, and shredding resources. When you have these resources handy it makes the arduous task of organizing so much easier.

Household Hazardous Waste
Motor Oil
Most auto shops (Jiffy Lube, Advanced Auto, Firestone, etc.) accept used motor oil (and old car batteries) to recycle. Try calling your local auto shop for details.
Paint
If there is no household hazardous waste collection program in your community, you’ll need to dry out the paint before throwing it away. You can do so by opening the can and letting it sit open until the paint dries or pour kitty litter into the paint can to dry it up. Then you can throw it in the trash.
Asbestos
Asbestos needs to be handled by an asbestos abatement professional. Some builders/contractors have this designation and can offer removal services. The best way to find a professional in your area is to search on Google for an asbestos abatement professional near me.
