When  tossed in the trash or poured down a sink or storm drain, materials such as used motor oil, paint, turpentine, acid or lye-based cleaners, household and car batteries, pesticides and garden herbicides can damage the environment and endanger the health of children and pets.

Household electronic waste includes equipment that is near the end of its useful life such as computer monitors and televisions which cannot be disposed of in trash cans. Unfortunately, electronic waste is a growing problem although many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled, including items such as VCRs, stereos, fax machines, copiers, computer keyboards and cellular telephones.
 
Collect those unwanted household hazardous waste and e-waste items and bring them to a free Houshold Hazardous Waste and E-Waste Roundup. It’s easy to participate.  Leave the products in their original container, place them in a cardboard box and drive to the Roundup site.  The entire process only takes a few minutes and you never have to leave your car. 

Remember:

• Limit of 15 gallons or 125 lbs. per vehicle
• Do not mix materials, keep original labels on containers
• Put in a sturdy box in the trunk of your car
• No waste from business will be accepted
• No explosives, ammunition or radioactive materials will be accepted
• No explosive or radioactive materials, tires or waste from business will be accepted.  Please do not mix products together.

The Free Countywide Household Hazardous Waste and E-Waste Roundups are brought to you by the County of Los Angeles and presented by the Department of Public Works and the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, in cooperation with the city of Alhambra and the neighboring cities of Arcadia, Commerce, El Monte, Los Angeles, Montebello, Monterey Park, Pasadena, Rosemead, San Gabriel, San Marino, South El Monte, South Pasadena and Temple City.
