On Saturday from 9 am to 3 pm, County of Los Angeles residents will have the opportunity to safely dispose of household hazardous waste such as antifreeze, unused pharmaceuticals, car batteries, used motor oil, paint, pesticides, home-generated sharps waste, such as hypodermic needles, pen needles, syringes, lancets, and intravenous needles, universal waste, including household batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, electronic devices, and cell phones, at the next free Countywide Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event at 901 West Alondra Boulevard.
The free Countywide Household Hazardous & E-Waste Collection Event Program is
brought to residents by the County of Los Angeles and presented by Los Angeles
County Public Works and the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts in cooperation
with the City of Compton and the neighboring cities of Carson, Downey, Gardena,
Long Beach, Lynwood, Paramount, and South Gate.
Los Angeles County Public Works and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts
conduct more than 40 free Household Hazardous Waste & E-Waste Collection Events
annually throughout the County to provide residents with a convenient way to rid
their homes of unwanted hazardous materials. Because hazardous waste can pollute
the environment, it is illegal to discard these items in trash cans, sinks, and storm
drains. The Collection Events are part of a campaign to promote public awareness of
proper disposal practices of household hazardous and e-waste and to provide a
convenient, free disposal option.
