The City of Santa Clarita welcomes residents to dispose of their unwanted household hazardous and electronic waste at the free Household Hazardous/E-Waste Collection Event on Saturday, July 23, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event will take place at the Via Princessa Metrolink Station at 19201 Via Princessa.

In preparation for the event, waste items should be packed in a sturdy box, preferably in their original labeled container, in the trunk of the participant’s vehicle.
