Dispose of waste at a collection center

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDS

Leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable or reactive ingredients are considered household hazardous waste.

Products such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries and pesticides that contain potentially hazardous ingredients require special handling when residents dispose of them.

Residents are prohibited from disposing of household hazardous waste at the 1.8-Acre site.

Residents can dispose of toxic waste at any of Orange County’s four Household Hazardous Waste Collection Centers. The closest one to LW is the Huntington Beach Collection Center, 17121 Nichols Lane, 92647, Gate 6.

Proof of county residence may be requested. E-waste such as televisions, tablets, cell phones and computers can also be taken to this collection center.

It is open from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday (closed on major holidays and during rainy weather).

People who need special assistance with household hazardous waste collection and are unable to bring it to a centers should call (714) 834-4000 for more information about Orange County’s door-to-door service. For more information, visit www.oclandfills. com/hazardous-waste.
