Have some household chemicals or other waste you think might not be okay to put in the trash or down the sink?
On February 21, Citrus Heights residents will have their first opportunity of 2015 to dispose of hazardous items like paint, cleaning supplies, vehicle batteries and fluorescent light bulbs, at a free Household Hazardous Waste drop-off event held in the city.
Sponsored by Republic Services and the City, the drop-off is open to any Citrus Heights resident, as long as proof of residency – like a recent bill or photo ID – is provided.
Although many hazardous items will be accepted, a flier for the event states that ammunition, explosives, pharmaceuticals, radioactive material, household batteries, “home-generated sharps,” and used oil won’t be accepted — although Republic Services has other free curbside programs to take used oil and household batteries.
Residents are encouraged to call Republic Services at (916) 725-9060 for more information, or to schedule an appointment –- although appointments are not required, according to an event flier.
Drop-off event info:
Date: Saturday, February 21, 2015
Time: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Location: 6196 Sunrise Mall Rd., Citrus Heights (In parking lot behind Macy’s)
