Free Hazardous Waste Collection for Seniors

By Beth Gabor

Senior or disabled residents who cannot drive, and who have household hazardous waste in need of proper disposal, may schedule a free pickup of their waste.  Yolo County residents 65 years and older qualify for this service.

Material that can be collected include: household batteries, cleaning supplies, lighter fluid, antifreeze, aerosol cans (empties can be recycled), garden pesticides and herbicides, latex or oil based paints, solvents, poisons, fluorescent bulbs or tubes, used motor oil and used oil filters.

Appointments are required for the Door to Door program and can be made by contacting Yolo County’s Recycling Coordinator at (530) 666-8856.

The Door to Door pick-up program for residents within Yolo County is a product of the Yolo County Planning & Public Works Department Division of Integrated Waste Management which manages the Yolo County Central Landfill, the Esparto Convenience Center, and various recycling programs at the Yolo County Central Landfill.  For more information, visit:www.yolocounty.org.
