OTHER UPCOMING COLLECTION EVENTS
Sponsored jointly by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) and the Department of Public Works. The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program gives Los Angeles County residents a legal and cost free way to dispose of unwanted household chemicals that cannot be disposed of in the regular trash.
LACSD's HHW events have resumed with new COVID-19 safety precautions. LACSD asks that all attendees wear a face covering and remain in their vehicles with windows closed, if possible. Please stay home if you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, have been asked to quarantine, or have recently traveled internationally.
Event staff will only remove household hazardous and electronic waste from your trunk/pick-up bed. To dispose of sharps, you will be required to exit your vehicle and dispose of them in the designated area.
Protecting public health and the environment remains their highest priority and they look forward to resuming this beneficial program in a way that is safe for everyone. For more information, please contact (800) 238-0173 or info [at] lacsd.org ().
