Jennifer,<br><br>I would check with your local Fire Dept. and see if they either can take it on the next household hazardous materials drop off day, or if they want to burn it for training. They&#39;ll be able to tell you what you can or can&#39;t do to dispose of it.<br>

<br>Honestly the fireplace or a campfire may be the best solution for this since you probably can&#39;t mail it without a lot of expense.<br><br>Cheers!<br>Dave<br><br>David Harvey<br>Senior Conservator and Museum Consultant<br>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div>I am looking for any referrals on disposing of cellulose nitrate film.  We have a 35mm motion picture film (~570 feet) of a local parade shot in 1923.  We have recently had the film transferred to preservation quality film and are looking for how to dispose
of the original film in a cost effective manner.  Our facility is not equipped for the long term storage of this type of material.  The film is in good condition and stable and the preservation lab can pack it for safe shipping.  Does anyone have recommendations
on who might be interested in the film or referrals for hazardous waste disposal sites that would receive goods via mail?  Currently I’ve contacted one disposal site, but they will only do physical pickups.  How have other sites disposed of this material?</div>


<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Jennifer  </div>
