Household Hazardous Waste Collection Comes to Your Door
On February 1, 2011, the City of Santa Monica will launch the Household Hazardous Waste Door-to-Door Collection Pilot Program, a pick-up system where the "Haz Mat" technicians come to you. The goal is to expand levels of service for residents while reducing costs. The service will be provided on a free and unlimited basis to home owners and renters alike.
Beginning February 1, 2011, the Household Hazardous Waste Center will be available for drop-off service on SATURDAYS ONLY. If the pilot is successful, the city will transition to a permanent pick-up system in June 2011.
The new service is provided in a few easy steps:
- Reserve collection service: call 1 (800) HHW-PKUP (1.800.449.7587), Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM; or e-mail hotline@curbsideinc.com;
- Receive collection kit in the mail (includes detailed instructions with collection day reminder);
- Prepare collection kit at your doorstep or at a predetermined location on collection day;
- Leave prepared materials and we'll do the rest.
For additional information or feedback please visit www.sustainablesm.org/hhw or call (310) 458-2213. The door-to-door collection program is managed by the Office of Sustainability and the Environment and Waste Management/Curbside Inc.
