Can you help me?

I have some unspeant charges or "loads" that are part of a Powder Actuated Fastener system. I don't know how or where to properly dispose of them. Do you know if they would be taken at that facility? If not, can I get a referral?

Thanks

Material Safety Data Sheet

This is the only information I have on the charges or loads. Thanks

How about dead spiral bulbs containing mercury?

Not being an expert on what can be taken I would go ahead and take it to the collection center and let them make that decision.

Yes they will be collecting mercury light bulb.

They informed that they cannot take explosives. Is there an incenerator facility for ammunition nearby?
