Pollution control is everyone?s business however I believe that the Sanitation authority should have the responsibility to make disposal of common items easy in order to help people comply. It is no secret that some will instead conceal banned items in the trash as a means of disposal.
A prime example is the disposal of small (hand held) gas canisters (Propane & Mapp gas used for lanterns & torches). These are sold in many types of stores however they fall outside of refuse collection systems. A small, almost insignificant statement on the container indicates that proper disposal is necessary.
As an example of what can be done, Tires, batteries and waste oil have provisions for disposal with the Sanitation system and/or the vendors of those products.
