LWers cannot dispose of paint at 1.8-Acre site
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDS
Leftover household products, including paint, that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable or reactive ingredients are considered household hazardous waste.
Service Maintenance does not recycle paint for shareholders. They will have to take hazardous waste to an outside recycling facility or, in the case of paint, they can open cans and allow the paint to completely dry before throwing them away in trash bins.
Products such as 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 their 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.
