Our next ABOP (Antifreeze, Batteries, Oil, Paint) Collection event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. ABOPs are typically held on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, but this Saturday’s has been canceled. On Sept. 9, residents can bring antifreeze, batteries, oil and paint for free disposal. Additionally, the City accepts up to three small household electronics (for example, microwaves, televisions, handheld devices), compact fluorescent lightbulbs, and fluorescent light tubes (limit six) and mercury based thermostats.
