Santa Monica's new Household Hazardous Waste Home Collection Pilot Program is now up and running, and to assist residents with the transition the Household Hazardous Waste Center will remain open for drop-off service on SATURDAYS (9 AM - 2 PM) through June 2012.  To sweeten the deal further, the first 200 residents to schedule for the Home Collection service in 2012 will receive a FREE premium stainless steel water bottle.
