Household Hazardous Waste / Disposal of Large Items

Missed spring cleaning season this year? Not to worry—San Anselmo residents have a variety of ways to dispose of bulky or hazardous items year-round.  

·         Appliances – Bring your old toaster, iron, hairdryer, vacuum or other small home appliances to a Goodwill, Salvation Army store or other non-profit near you.

·         Cooking Oil – Collect your own cooking oil in a jar or bottle and donate it to the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility to create a cleaner-burning biofuel for your community.

·         Furniture – If you’re redecorating your house this summer, don’t forget to arrange for a pick-up or drop-off of your old couch or table at a facility that reuses furniture. 

·         Latex Paint – Donate your old and unwanted latex paints to a facility near you. Your old paint could be someone else’s new art project or recycled into new paint.

·         Pharmaceuticals – If you have old and expired prescription medicine at home, bring them to a collection site. Never flush pills down the drain.

·         Sharps – Safely dispose of needles and other sharps at a collection site. Never place loose sharps in the garbage.

In Marin, we can safely recycle anything from aerosol cans to windows.  For a full list of recyclable items and collection sites near you, please use the Recycling Guide at www.ZeroWasteMarin.org/zero-waste-101/recycling-guide.
