Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Event Set for June 6 at the Rose Bowl

Pasadena Public Works and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works are offering Pasadena residents an opportunity to safely dispose of household hazardous waste, on June 6 at the Rose Bowl Stadium.

Separate collection stations will be set up for household hazardous waste and for electronic waste (computers, monitors, television sets, et cetera) in the stadium’s Parking Lot K. Members of the public can dispose of up to 15 gallons of household hazardous wastes or 125 pounds of electronic waste products.

Acceptable household hazardous waste includes items like brake fluid, paint, paint thinner, acid or lye-based cleansers, household and car batteries, pool chemicals motor oil, antifreeze, expired prescription medication and fluorescent light bulbs. Acceptable electronic waste includes computer monitors, television sets, CPUs, printers and cell phones.

Hazardous waste and electronic wastes from businesses, explosives, trash, tires and appliances are not accepted at this event. Controlled substances will not be accepted.

These items should be packed in a sturdy box, or, if possible, the original containers. Items should not be mixed in the boxes either.
