That's a good question. Justin, you should call Public Works at 434-5928 and inquire. That’s a good question.

Most UPS are lead-acid and the site Thanh linked to says lead-acid batteries are accepted, but they don't mention UPS. This is what I get for being a geek pack-rat, I take any computer equipment people don't want and 75% of it I can't fix and then need to dispose of.

One note I have: Take a look to see what kind of paint it is. The HHW Day collects only oil based paints. If you happen to have water based or latex paint you can actually just remove the lid and let it dry out and then place it out curbside on your bulk collection day. It might save you a trip. More information on paint disposal and bulk collection day here: http://www.harrisonburgva.gov/index.php?id=465. I hope this is helpful.

You should see the 55-gallon paint drum by the time it's filled with all the colors of the rainbow and then some. That shade of gray does not occur in nature. Working the event is a lot of fun too.
