    Hazardous Waste Service Area
    Dorothy C.

    Today is "Black Friday", the day after Thanksgiving when all of the merchants hope you'll begin your holiday shopping.Think "black ink" rather than "being in the red." At Casa Canine, we're always been a bit different. Its our clean-up day. We took "stuff" to the Hazardous Waste facility on this Black Friday. Loaded the Caravan up with old microwaves, breadmakers, paint cans, and even a goodly sized bag of needles. You will remember the diabetic dog Sam who received injections twice daily...these needles were hers. Honest engine! The journey was an adventure but we enjoy creative ventures here at the Doglet house. FIrst of all...we arrived at the facility when they were closed for lunch. Shut down tighter than a barrel. No problem. We parked the car in Point Richmond and strolled around through this quaint village looking for treasures to brighten our holiday house.( As an aside...I certainly hope merchants in other parts of the country are fairing better...I think we were the *only* shoppers in Point RIchmond on what should be a watershed shopping day.) Returned to the Hazardous Waste site which had reopened its doors. Drove into its cavernous space where Hazmat suited workers relieved the car of its contents rapidly and for free. Well...I should say, *almost* all of its contents. They couldn't take the needles unless they were safely packaged in red safety containers. So...they gave us two containers, and told us to pull over just outside the facility to put the needles into them. We did. Two containers filled rapidly. We brought them into the facility filled to the brim. Asked for more containers. Two was all they could give us at one time. SO...we took the two, went outside the facility. Filled the containers and returned. Signed the disclaimer slip. Repeated the process four more times. That would be about twelve containers in all. It took several hours until the last needle was safely sent into its red plastic tub. At last, we had finished. SIgned all of the forms. Sam the dog would have been proud of our efforts on her behalf. Drove home...stopped at Point Isabel dogpark before driving up Central Ave to our house. It had been our intention to get a cuppa Joe (or mebbe a hot dog) at the SIt-Stay Cafe. But...although there were lots of people and dogs about, the SIt-Stay was closed for the Thanksgiving weekend. Not to worry. We had a grand time...and the house looks surprising sharp without all of the junk in the garage or behind the kitchen door. Strong recommend for this very valuable (and free) site. But do get your sharpies into containers *before * you arrive at their gates. And bring an ID...is for West Contra Costa residents only. Happy Black Friday...now we're ready to hit the mall. Sort of.

    Good but long wait. Only go if you have a ton to recycle. I must have waited 30 minutes to an hour for my turn.
