Re: Best way to dispose of contaminated furniture?

[Guest guest]

Could someone " destroy " the chair with spray paint? Not sure if you have MCS but

maybe a neighbor can help you with that if you do.

I understand what you're saying too, , BUT: if a needy family " claims "

the chair, what's to then prevent them (INCLUDING CHILDREN) to become VERY

ill?

Call your city refuse people-- & I HOPE they'll have a safer solution--for

all concerned.

My family has a chair that has been " crossed " from the OWNER of the

chair coming directly home from a CONTAMINATED DOCTORS OFFICE (She

knows not to hang out in that " bad back room " for long).

It doesn't bother other people and it only moderately bothers HER.

But I can't sit there - so I don't.

I don't find it necessary to deprive others of the use of the chair

simply because I can't sit there.

I vote for sending a big, strong teenage male and a sledgehammer out to that

field. No guilt, no fumes, no no cops, no recyclers, no chair, and the kid has a

great time doing stuff boys like to do. I doubt there's much danger with doing

the deed outdoors, but if you're worried, you can leave it in a bag.
