Furniture

Here are tips on getting rid of furniture:

  • Can you pass it along to someone who can use it?
  • Can you sell it?
  • Organizations that might take it:
  • Your trash collector may take it. Call first to see if there is a fee or if it is included in your service. (They may require to wrap the furniture in plastic.)

Gasoline

Environmental Enterprises will take any household hazardous waste including gasoline. Their number is 513-541-1823.

A few tips specifically for gasoline disposal. (Note: this district is not necessarily recommending these options, but is listing them as informational purposes.)

  1. Check appearance and smell to determine its usability. Older gas is darker and smells off.
  2. If older gas isn’t contaminated, consider diluting it by adding fresh fuel for reuse. (This suggestion may not be appropriate for all engines.)
  3. With great caution, small amounts of gas can be evaporated if exposed to air. If using this method, care must be taken that the gas is not near anything flammable or near pets or children.
  4. You may want to ask your local car service place if they’ll take your gas. Most won’t but it may be worth a try.
