1) You can bring them to one of the City’s Household Hazardous Waste days. Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Locations 2) You can take them to any Home Depot, Ace Hardware or Ikea’s customer service desks. 3) You can place them in a plastic bag and simply bag and tie them and then place them in your regular trash.
