Palm Springs Hazardous Waste Disposal

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) includes a variety of wastes that may be accepted at the Permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. HHW cannot be accepted by PSDS and cannot be disposed in your trash can. If HHW are discovered in your trash cans, the matter will be turned over to the District Attorney's office.

To dispose of small quantities of antifreeze, batteries, oil and paint, take them to the HHW Facility located at 1100 Vella Road in Palm Springs. These products are hazardous or considered toxic wastes and cannot be disposed of in our landfills.

Examples of HHW include: Adhesives, Drain Openers, Antifreeze, Paints (Oil and Latex), Batteries (auto, single use, rechargeable), Solvents, Pesticides, Household Cleaners, Used Oil and Filters, Swimming Pool Chemicals, Nail Polish, Fuels, Propane Cylinders/Tanks, Cosmetics, Fertilizers, Fluorescent Bulbs, Ballasts, Fire Extinguishers, Used Oil Filters and Electronic Wastes. HHW are products marked with the words, “Toxic” or “Poison”, “Flammable” or “Combustible”, or “Danger”, “Caution” or “Warning”.
