OT: HazMat Disposal

["Byars, William" <wbyars@MPCProducts.com>]

Not too bad, actually. 3 full 55-gallon LabPacks (barrels) and a couple
5-gallon LabPacks (buckets) costs about $3500-$4500 to haul off, depending
on what's in it. I'd say a single bucket would be like $250 or so. I do the
HazMat disposal where I work. If you're in the Chicagoland area and need to
dispose of some stuff I can give you a few numbers to call.
