Why Recycle?

Recycling is beneficial because it reduces the consumption of raw materials, reduces energy usage, creates jobs, extends the life of landfills, and reduces disposal costs. By doing your part, you can help the environment and potentially save on your trash bill.

For a Recycling Center near you call 1-800-RECYCLE.

See Solid Waste for additional information on residential and commercial recycling.

Household Battery Collection

Common batteries such as AA, AAA, C Cells, D Cells, and button cell batteries (e.g. Hearing aid batteries) were banned from disposal in the trash in 2006 because they can contain heavy metals and are corrosive chemicals that can cause burns.

For proper disposal visit LADWP Household Hazardous Waste.

Recycle Fluorescent Lamps and Tubes

Drop off lamps and tubes at designated retail stores, collection events, or centers.

Why?

All fluorescent lighting contains small amounts of mercury. Mercury is hazardous to your health, which is why California banned fluorescent lamps from disposal in the trash. If they break, mercury is released.

Please take your fluorescent lighting to Home Depot located at 2707 S Towne Avenue, Pomona.
