"DON'T PUT MERCURY IN THE TRASH"
Fluorescent lightbulbs should be brought directly to the Millbury HIgh School at 12 Martin Street or the Transfer Station on Riverlin Street.
The Board of Health Office accepts mercury thermometers, button batteries, mercury switches, thermostats, and bottles and jars of loose mercury.
HELPFUL HINTS FROM THE BOARD OF HEALTH
COOKIES STUCK TO THE COOKIE SHEET?
Take some dental floss and slide it between the cookie and the cookie sheet and they should come off the sheet unbroken!
LOWERING OVEN HEAT WHEN BAKING
When you bake, your oven heat can be lowered by 25% if you are using ceramic or glass baking dishes. Glass and ceramic retain heat better than metal pans and dishes.
TO KEEP ANIMALS AWAY FROM YOUR TRASH
Mix 2 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid with 2 tablespoons of cayenne; mix with 1 quart of warm water. Pour into a spray bottle and spray your trash bags liberally.
