Special Services: Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) includes a variety of wastes that may be accepted at the Permanent HHW Collection Facility or at the annual County HHW cleanup. HHW cannot be disposed of in your trash carts. If HHW is discovered in your trash carts, the matter will be turned over to the District Attorney's office.
The Permanent HHW Collection Facility is located at 1100 Vella Road Road in Palm Springs. They accept small quantities of Antifreeze, Batteries, Oil and Paint. These products are hazardous or toxic wastes and cannot be disposed of in our landfills.
HHW includes insecticides, fuel and solvents. For a detailed list of what the County of Riverside - Waste Management Department will accept, please click on the link: HHW Collection Program.
