Hazardous Waste? Get Rid of It on Saturday

Saturday is a free disposal day for those who have items unsuitable for a landfill.

Residents with items that fall into the category of hazardous waste—anything that can't be sent to a landfill—can dispose of those items on Saturday. 

Waste Management will conduct its annual Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up on June 22. 

Items that fall into this category include paint, cleaners, auto products, fluorescent lights, batteries, and electronic waste.

Space is limited and appointments are on a first-come, first-serve basis.  The event, located in the El Toro High student parking lot, will be open by appointment only from 8-11:30 a.m. Appointment windows are every five minutes. 

Shredding service will also be available with no appointment necessary. 

Call Waste Management Customer Service at 949-642-1191 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
