We first told you about it last month, but here’s a reminder that this Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the city will be collecting household hazardous waste from residents at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre parking lot at 16th and Kennedy Streets NW. District residents only (Virginia and Maryland residents should check with their local governments to find out where they may take their hazardous waste) may drop-off hazardous waste for proper disposal and recycling. Acceptable items are listed below, and items that will not be accepted are below the jump.

Accepted Items
*Leftover cleaning and gardening chemicals
*Small quantities of gasoline
*Pesticides and poisons
*Mercury thermometers
*Paint
*Solvents
*Spent batteries
*Antifreeze
*Chemistry sets
*Automotive fluids
*Asbestos floor tiles (personally, not sure I’d want to transport those myself)
*Computers (they’ll also wipe your hard drive clean for you)
*Computer monitors and other accessories
*Televisions
*Office equipment
*Cell phones
*Stereo equipment
