The City of Santa Clarita is set to host a drive-thru electronic and hazardous materials waste event later in November.
The free event is scheduled to take place in the south parking lot at College of the Canyons on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to the City.
“Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, safety precautions to keep staff and participants safe are highly enforced,” City officials said.
It is recommended that all attendees wear a face covering and remain in their vehicles with the windows closed, according to officials.
Event staff is expected to only remove waste from a vehicle’s trunk or pick-up bed, according to officials.
Residents that have traveled internationally or are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms have been asked to stay home and self-quarantine.
The Household Hazardous and e-waste roundup is a safe and free opportunity for residents to dispose of their hazardous household and electronic waste such as antifreeze, paint, paint thinner, turpentine, motor oil, oil filters, brake fluid, cleaners with acid or lye, pool chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, household batteries or car batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, CRT’s, televisions and other miscellaneous electronics such as cell phones, printers and stereos, according to officials.
Place needles or sharps in a sharps container or a sturdy box labeled “sharps” and unwanted or expired prescriptions may also be disposed of, according to officials.
In preparation for the event, waste items should be packed in a sturdy box, preferably in their original labeled container, in the trunk of the participant’s vehicle.
Participants should be prepared to leave any containers or boxes at the collection site and must remain in their vehicle while trained staff removes the hazardous waste from the vehicle’s trunk, according to officials.
Items not eligible for disposal includes ammunition, radioactive materials and explosives, controlled substances and bio-hazardous waste.
“White goods” including refrigerators, water heaters and other similar domestic appliances and waste from businesses.
All Los Angeles County residents are welcome to attend the Household Hazardous and e-waste Roundup event.
Reservations are not needed to participate. A transportation limit of 125 pounds or 15 gallons per vehicle is enforced.
In partnership with the City of Santa Clarita, the drive-through event is sponsored by the County of Los Angeles and presented by the Department of Public Works and the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County.
