HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE

Palm Springs Disposal does not accept hazardous waste. Hazardous waste needs to be taken to an ABOP (antifreeze, batteries, oil and paint) center. It is unsafe and illegal to dispose of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) with regular waste. HHW includes products identified with words such as Toxic, Poison, Flammable, Combustible, Danger, Caution or Warning. Check here to see if what you’re throwing away is hazardous waste.
