We have a new date! This year’s free Annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection event for the residents of Carpinteria has been postponed to Saturday, June 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. Rain canceled our original April date for this event.
Please bring only accepted items. Acceptable items include:
- Furniture
- Appliances
- Electronic Waste
- Pesticides
- Automotive fluids and oils
- Fluorescent bulbs
- Medications
- And MORE!
Please limit liquids to 15 gallons total per vehicle.
This event is a drive-through service. To help the line move efficiently, residents are asked to separate household goods and hazardous materials and place them in an easily accessible location in their vehicle. Please remain in your vehicle—staff will remove items for you.
The City is not accepting tires, explosives, biozards or radioactive materials.
