Household Hazardous Wastes (HHW) are household items which may threaten human health or the environment and should be disposed of properly when they can no longer be used for their intended purposes. It is illegal to throw hazardous materials in the trash. Instead, take them to a HHW collection facility.
It is illegal to abandon hazardous substances outside the facility when it is closed. Residents can use any of the other participating HHW collection facilities in the county. Days and hours of operations vary. Call (800) OILYCAT (800-645-9228) or visit the San Bernardino County Fire's Household Hazardous Waste site.
