FREE Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off

The City of Citrus Heights and Allied Waste Services are providing three FREE drop-offs for Household Hazardous Waste (HHW), sharps and batteries to help residents recycle and properly dispose of hazardous materials. The joint effort is to provide a safe, convenient HHW disposal option.

This first free drop-off is Saturday, May 7, 2011, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the back parking lot of Sunrise Mall, located at 6196 Sunrise Mall in Citrus Heights. Drop-offs are convenient ways to help protect the environment.

Acceptable materials include common household items such as: automotive fluids, acids, household and auto batteries, pesticides, motor oil, gasoline, home-generated needles and syringes, household cleaners, paints, solvents and fluorescent lamps and tubes. No ammunition, explosives or radioactive material or e-waste can be accepted.

Appointments encouraged: Please call (916) 638-9000 or (916) 725-9060 to schedule an appointment or for more information.

This program is only for Citrus Heights residential customers serviced by Allied Waste. Proof of residency (Allied Waste bill or other identification) required. No commercial customers or businesses, please.

Each customer drop-off will be limited to 15 gallons of liquid or 125 pounds of material per vehicle. Future HHW drop-off events will be held in August and October. Look for more information in upcoming Allied Waste bill statements.
