Household Hazardous Waste

Program Description

In California, it is illegal to place hazardous waste in the trash or recycling bin. It must be managed in a way that ensures that it will protect human health and the environment. In Oxnard, residents have access to two FREE programs to properly dispose of household hazardous waste (HHW). 

Some materials can be brought to our Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Facility’s Buy-Back Center without an appointment.  Visit HERE for location and hours. Click on the images below to print the flyers.  

Small Businesses are subject to different requirements.  CLICK HERE for more information.

• Antifreeze
• Household batteries
