Sacramento City and County residents can utilize our HHW and E-Waste site to dispose of containers of paint, cleaners and automotive supplies as well as home electronics.
California law prohibits the disposal of these materials in the trash or recycling. Disposing chemicals, paints and other HHW materials in the trash and recycling endangers workers and is extremely harmful to the environment.
At SRTS, we properly dispose of your items or prepare them for recycling. We also have a Reuse Area where you can find used paints and other supplies for your home improvement projects.
Here’s a list of accepted items:
• all-purpose cleaners | • disinfectants | • pesticides • Propane gas cylinders |
The following items are NOT accepted:
• ammunition | • explosives |
HHW and E-Waste tip:
Follow these tips for packaging and transporting your HHW materials:
- Keep products in original containers
- If container is leaking, place in larger plastic container with tight-fitting lid
- Secure products upright in cardboard box
- Never transport products in passenger compartment of car or truck
Keep flammables out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat, spark, flame or ignition.
