Hazardous waste can't go in the trash! It's the law. Save hazardous waste for one of the free HazMobile household hazardous waste collections .
You can take car batteries to a transfer station or auto parts store for recycling (excluding Caspar and Albion) or auto parts store for recycling.
All collections 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. except Ukiah, which is 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Collections may be cancelled due to severe rain and wind.
Free to households within daily load limit of 15 gallons per vehicle per day, measured by container size.
Businesses must make appointment and pay a fee per gallon which is a direct “pass through” of our disposal cost for various types of hazardous waste. Call 707-468-9710 to make an appointment.
Items accepted: motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze, gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, oil-based paint, latex paint, household batteries, toxic cleaners, fluorescent light tubes, PCB-containing ballasts, acids, bases, pesticides, herbicides, pool chemicals, and prescription medication. There is a charge for compressed gas cylinders.
