Large bins ("dumpsters") are available to help you dispose of waste from home remodeling, major landscaping, roofing, etc. For rental information, please call 1-800-266-7551 and select option 1.
Household Hazardous Waste Roundup Days
Los Angeles County residents can properly dispose of their Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) at no cost by taking it to the one-day collection roundups. These events are held on Saturdays at various locations around Los Angeles County.
Materials such as used motor oil, paint, turpentine, pesticides, and garden herbicides can damage the environment if tossed in the trash or poured down the storm drain. Instead, deliver unneeded household, automotive, and garden chemicals, as well as batteries, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, and electronics, to the roundup. It’s easy to participate. Simply leave the products in their original containers, place them in a cardboard box, and drive to the event site. The entire process only takes a few minutes, and you never have to leave your car.
La Verne residents can take advantage of any and all roundups held in the county. Visit http://www.888CleanLA.com for a complete schedule of upcoming events or call 1(888) CLEAN-LA.
