Working around the house this weekend?

Many common household projects can leave behind Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) like batteries, pesticides, fuel, and paint, which should never be tossed in the trash. They can cause contamination and many HHW materials can even be dangerous without proper disposal.

Dropping off these materials is easy and free at the local HHW facility at 8491 Fruitridge Road--and they're even open Saturdays.

Check SacRecycle.org for hours of operation and for more locations for free HHW drop-off in north Sacramento and Elk Grove.

The City of Sacramento - Recycling & Solid Waste Division provides multiple resources for City of Sacramento customers to easily dispose of their bulky household items properly.

For large household items such as old carpeting, broken barbecue grills or worn-out mattresses, customers can request a free household junk pickup from February through October. Yard waste can be included in the appointment, but appliances and electronic waste (E-waste) require a separate appointment, which is also free.

Customers can schedule up to two pickups each of household junk and appliances/E-waste each calendar year. All pickup appointments can be scheduled by the property owner or tenant by contacting the City’s Customer Service or calling 3-1-1.
