Accepted materials included paper documents, old paint, household batteries, used tires, scrap metals such as steel, aluminum, and copper, and automotive fluids and related materials. Rogue Waste Recovery & Environmental, Inc. was also on-site collecting automotive-related waste, including used oil, used oil filters, used antifreeze or coolants, and gasoline or diesel products to ensure proper disposal.
