WASTE DUMP

[April 21] Murietans turned out early and in numbers for the household hazardous waste collection event at the FAA Building parking lot Saturday, creating a solid line of cars on Cantova Way and half-hour waits to unload things they can't dispose of in their trash cans. Romic Environmental Technologies Corp. workers were prepared for the scores of old TVs and computers, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and cans of paint. "There were no surprises except the volume," said Romic Northern California Services Manager Derrick McCarty. The free collection event was sponsored by the Community Services District.
