On Saturday, November 19, from 8 AM – 3 PM, Duarte will hold its bi-annual free Community Clean-Up and HHW Collection for residents at both Duarte City Hall (1600 Huntington Drive) and the CS-Arts-SGV parking lot (1401 Highland Avenue).
The CS-Arts-SGV parking location will host Los Angeles County’s Household Hazardous Waste & E-Waste collection event from 9 AM – 3 PM. Acceptable waste includes brake fluid, paint, paint thinner, cleanings with acid or lye, pesticides or herbicides, household batteries and car batteries, pool chemicals, motor oil, oil filters, expired pharmaceuticals, and antifreeze. They will also be collecting household electronic waste and hypodermic needles, pen needles, syringes, lancets, and intravenous needles.
Bring items in a sturdy box (preferably in their original labeled containers) and be sure not to mix items together. There is a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds of hazardous waste per trip.
When arriving, make sure items are in the trunk of your car or bed of your truck, as the County will not be able to remove items from the backseat. Remain in our car and bring a mask.
Please note that business waste will not be accepted and neither will explosives, ammunition, radioactive materials, trash and tires, or any type of controlled substances. More information is available at CleanLA.com or call (888) CLEAN LA.
At the City Hall Location from 8 AM – 2 PM, Burrtec Waste Services will be accepting bulky items to dispose. Additionally, Burrtec will take old paperwork to shred including bank statements, old pay stubs, credit card applications, and anything else with personal information that you want disposed of properly. No binders please. For compost materials, residents should bring the proper vehicle or storage container to accommodate the load. Burrtec will provide shovels. The City will also be distributing used oil containers for residents that would like to recycle their old motor oil safely.
Bring your Burrtec trash bill for address verification. For more information on the clean-up and shred event, contact Burrtec at (626) 932-1558.
