When The Unexpected Happens...

Paint spill
 
We recently did an asphalt rejuvenation project for one of our local communities where someone had thrown a can of wet paint in the dumpster, the can got crushed in the compactor in the dump truck and leaked onto the roadway throughout the property. Wet paint is actually considered a hazardous waste material and cannot be legally disposed of in a regular dumpster. As you can probably imagine there is no easy clean-up for a mess like this. On that note, Asphalt Restoration Technology Systems, Inc proudly presents this classic DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU moment...
What is Hazardous Waste? 
 
Educating residents on what is actually considered hazardous waste will reduce unwanted disposal in your community dumpsters. As per the Seminole County Government's website some examples of hazardous waste include;
                                                                                                               
                                              
Anti-Freeze
Paints

Poisons
Compact Fluorescent Lights

Gasoline and Cans (Up to 5 gallons)
