HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

Household hazardous waste needs special handling and safe disposal. Disposing hazardous waste in your recycling, trash, or organic containers is illegal. The City has several programs to help residents dispose of HHW safely:

1) Electronic Waste & household batteries: Free drop-off at Azusa Public Works Yard. See flyer for more details.

2) Used Oil & Used Filters: Drop off uncontaminated used oil at these participating certified collection centers in Azusa: AutoZone, Jiffy Lube #640 & O'Reilly Auto Parts. Call for hours and quantity accepted. DO NOT leave used oil if the store is closed.

3) Sharps & Needles: Drop-off box for home-generated sharps & needles at the Senior Center, 740 N. Dalton.

4) HHW Events in April & November at Veolia facility: April 2023 (done). November event will be announced via social media.

5) Unbroken CFL, LED bulbs & fluorescent tubes collection at City Yard coming soon!

HHW is an expensive program. Take advantage of the Los Angeles County mobile collection events held on Saturdays to keep your trash rates low. For schedule of events, please visit LA County Public Works or Sanitation Districts of LA County. Click here for the County's permanent drop-off locations.

Some retail stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, IKEA, Best Buy, Ace Hardware, etc.) offer households the option to drop off small quantities of Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) LED bulbs, small electronics, and/or batteries. Please call ahead to confirm if a store near you is participating or charges a fee.
