The program has been so successful at Los Alamos that several other Lab organizations now are participating in the Bridge to Employment program, Van Eeckhout wrote in her nomination submission to the New Mexico Public Service Awards Council. Van Eeckhout also spoke about how Smith and her husband maintain a large aquarium at a local nursing home for the enjoyment of residents.

Toxic waste is something generally thought of as being somewhere else.
But it can be under your sink, in the garage, in bathrooms and many other places we don't generally think of. Household hazardous waste includes opened cans of paint, oven and drain cleaners, metal polishes and rust removers, aerosols and pesticides. Other household hazardous waste includes metal polishes, nail polish remover, fertilizers, weed killers, insecticides, automotive antifreeze, wood preservatives and batteries. It is anything you have at home to do what some commercials call the 'tough' jobs. Explosives, biomedical wastes, propane containers, radioactive wastes or any commercial waste won't be accepted at the transfer station.
