 The HHW Drop-Off event is a simple, drive-thru system. Upon entering, you'll be asked to provide a photo ID and a general description of your HHW items. Next, you'll be directed to the unloading area, where City employees will unload the HHW from your trunk or vehicle. Be sure all HHW items are secured in your vehicle so they won't tip over or leak. Label any products not in their original containers.
Residents must make an appointment to recycle E-waste.
