Hazardous Household Waste/E-Waste

SCHEDULE OF COLLECTION EVENTS

NOTE: Any and all Electronic Waste we collect at these events is sent to a facility within

the State of California that certifies that it is 100% demanufactured and recycled in a

stringent and environmetally acceptable manner to the commodity level in the United

States.  No Electronic Waste collected at these events is sent overseas, re-used, or

  • Do not EVER mix products together.
  • It is ILLEGAL to transport more than 15 gallons or 125 pounds of hazardous waste in your personal vehicle.
  • Be prepared to leave your containers. Because of permitting requirements, and the volume of people that utilize the program, items such as gasoline cans WILL NOT be returned.
