Many of the products that we use in our homes or at work contain potentially hazardous ingredients and require special care to dispose. It is illegal to dispose of hazardous waste products in the garbage, down storm drains, or onto the ground.

Monthly drop-off events are held in Sunnyvale for businesses and residents. Residents can attend on the third Saturday of the month (except December) from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunnyvale residents do not need to make an appointment to attend Sunnyvale events. Businesses must make an appointment with the Santa Clara County Hazardous Waste Program. For details, visit their website or call (408) 299-7300.
