My last visit to a hazardous waste drop off was over six years ago when I lived in the hazardous wasteland of Redford. Excited about the Farmington Hills drop off today, I loaded the 30+ cans of paint the previous owner decided I would cherish forever into the back of my hungry car. Expecting each can to explode sequentially, soaking my trunk with what would most likely turn out a poop brown color, I very slowly made my way to the drop off. On arrival, I was told latex paint is not toxic, only managing to unload 10 of the 30 cans. The latex paint police then informed me I could just leave the lids off and throw them in my regular garbage after they dried out. The snobbery of Farmington Hills left me yearning for the "throw it in that bin" days of Redford, and my inability to recycle made for a sad hippie.
