Disposal Guide

Proper Disposal
Fiberglass insulation can be disposed of as curbside household garbage. Contact your garbage hauler for information on pick-up of large quantities. Fiberglass insulation can also be brought to the Materials Recovery Center for a fee as mixed waste.

It is recommended that invasive plants stay where they were treated and managed (to decompose, or to be burned, etc.).  However, if needed, Buckthorn and other invasive plants are accepted at WLSSD’s Yard Waste Compost Site during the seasonal hours of operation. Remove berries (as much as possible) prior to transport to avoid dropping them during travel–and cover your load. If using an enclosed trailer, berries may remain on branches. Tell the attendant what invasives you have in your load so they can direct you to the correct place to unload.

Iodine comes in many forms – from disinfectant solutions to elemental iodine. It is considered a corrosive material.  Make sure that your container is in good condition and place it in a secondary container, such as a bucket, before transporting.
