Read a few labels. If they con- <br />tain any of these signal words: POISON, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, the <br />products contain hazardous materials. Don’t throw the leftovers in the trash; don’t pour <br />them down the drain; don’t pour them on the ground. <br />If you have a product with a signal word on the label, it is okay to use it up. Be sure to <br />follow the label instructions. Try to choose a less hazardous product for the same purpose <br />next time. If you have an unwanted product with any of the signal words, take it to your <br />county household hazardous waste drop-off site. <br />Visit RethinkRecycling.com/hhw to learn <br />about common household items that <br />should be brought to a county collec- <br />tion site for proper disposal. To locate <br />a Ramsey County drop-off site, go to <br />www.RamseyAtoZ.com. You can also call <br />651-633-EASY (3279) day or night with <br />questions. <br />Recycling automotive products <br />They are hazardous and require special <br />disposal—don’t put them in the trash. <br />Minnesota law prohibits throwing away <br />used oil and filters, brake fluid, power <br />steering fluid, and transmission fluid. <br />Never put any of these items in the trash <br />and do not pour them down the drain, on the ground, or into a storm sewer. Doing so can <br />harm the environment and contaminate our water source. <br />Windshield washer fluid, cleaners and degreasers, waxes, and detailing products can <br />also contain a “caution” warning — take any leftover product to your county household <br />hazardous waste (HHW) drop-off site. There are two main types of antifreeze: ethylene <br />glycol (generally green) and propylene glycol (generally pink). Keep the two types of an- <br />tifreeze in separate containers and do not mix antifreeze with other fluids. Take antifreeze <br />to your county HHW drop-off site. <br />Know the “signal” words <br />Like many projects, the construc- <br />tion of a new development in <br />Arden Hills on Lexington Avenue <br />near Highway 694 has been ham- <br />pered by our past harsh winter. <br />Nevertheless, Lexington Station is <br />rising on the site of the former Blue <br />Fox Restaurant, and developer Nick <br />Roberts is hoping businesses will <br />be opening their doors by the end of <br />August or early September. Tenants <br />already signed for Phase One of this <br />three-stage project include Fantastic <br />Sam’s Hair, Royal Nails, Noodles & <br />Company, Papa John’s Pizza, Pop Cul- <br />ture Frozen Yogurt, Potbelly Sandwich <br />Shop, and Starbuck’s. <br />Passing the site, it is easy to see that this <br />development doesn’t look like others. <br />Roberts commented that many such <br />centers built around the same time fol- <br />low the design that is currently in vogue <br />and end up not only looking alike but <br />outdated a few years later. He is aiming <br />for the look of a classic train station. <br />Lexington Station project takes shape by Susan Cathey <br />Continued on page 3
