As the holiday season 
comes to an end and 
decorations are packed 
away for another year, 
many people find this 
time to be an ideal 
opportunity to clean 
house and throw away 
household items that 
are no longer of use. 
Most items you may 
be able to identify as 
trash or recyclable, but 
what about that old 
paint, used batteries, 
or partially filled 
containers of kerosene and other flammables? You 
recently purchased a new television, now what 
should you do with the old one? The San Marino 
Fire Department is frequently asked, what do we do 
with these items?

 The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County 
sponsor weekly Household Hazardous and 
Electronic Waste (HHW) disposal events all around 
Los Angeles County. These one-day collection 
events provide all Los Angeles County residents 
a legal and cost-free way to dispose of unwanted 
household items and chemicals that cannot be 
disposed of in the regular trash, no appointment is 
needed.

 Eligible items for disposal at a HHW event include: 
motor oil, oil filters, brake fluid, used antifreeze, 
paint, paint thinner, aerosol cans, turpentine, 
cleaners with acid or lye, pesticides or herbicides, 
household batteries or car batteries, computers, 
televisions, cell phones, miscellaneous electronics, 
mercury thermometers or thermostats, fluorescent 
light bulbs, used needles or sharps (in a sharps 
container or sturdy box labeled “SHARPS”), and 
unwanted or expired prescriptions.

A collection event will be held in the City of 
Rosemead on February 1, and in the City of San 
Gabriel on March 7. A list of all upcoming collection 
events, as well as a full list of items that can and 
cannot be brought to the event can be found at the 
Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County website: 
lacsd.org/services/solidwaste/hhw_e_waste.

 Additionally, LA Sanitation has 7 permanent 
S.A.F.E. (Solvents / Automotive / Flammables / 
Electronics) collection centers, open Saturdays and 
Sundays from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. The Los Angeles-
