Local News in Brief : Toxic Waste Pickup Program Approved
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday appropriated $80,000 for a one-day hazardous-waste-collection program in the northeast San Fernando Valley.
Residents will be invited to bring surplus paint, garden chemicals, oil and other wastes to locations to be determined later.
The toxics-collection program will be one of eight across the city in 1989, said David Mays, chief deputy to Councilman Ernani Bernardi, who represents the northeast Valley.
