Headquarters will send out quarterly safety related emails on a variety of topics. This safety email blast focuses on HOW TO DISPOSE OF OLD CHEMICALS.



If you have a topic you would like covered in our new safety emails, please email Nicole Dayoub.

Below are the different disposal methods we've collected from our safety committee volunteers.

GDA Contractors – Doug DeSilvio

Utilize Facebook Marketplace

GDA has had great success listing free material on Facebook Marketplace. "People come out of the woodwork and will pickup and haul away any extra materials we need to dispose. I have not paid for hazardous waste disposal in 4+ years since starting this."

Below is a sample from a previous posting GDA Contractors did on Facebook Marketplace. 

Below is an itemized form GDA Contractors use when people take the material to document the pickup.
