Safe Trash Disposal Event At MCU Park On April 19

The Department of Sanitation will be holding a series of SAFE Disposal Events to provide neighbors with a one-stop method to get rid of harmful household products, such as solvents, automotive products, flammable products, and electronics next week.

The event in our area will take place at MCU Park, in the Surf Avenue parking lot, on April 19, 10am – 4pm.

Materials accepted include common household products such as auto fluids, batteries, electronics, strong cleaners, medications, paint, and more.

In 2015, a law banning the curbside disposal of some of these hazardous materials went into effect. Now, those who leave old electronics out on the street could be subject to a $100 fine. For more information, check our guide on safe disposal options of these items.
