You will be happy to hear that this expanded service includes both garbage AND green waste property service collection, with recyclables still collected in the crates at street side. For more information, please contact BFI at 603-1144. This program is part of the Authority's continuing mission to reduce the waste going to landfill. For more information, call the Authority's Home Composting Hotline at 906-1806. You should never pour such products into storm drains or down the sink.
Hazardous products can injure workers during collection, pollute local waterways and harm wildlife.
There IS a correct way to dispose of these hazardous waste products. The Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority holds periodic collection events in central Contra Costa. At these events, you can dispose of your hazardous materials free. At the time you make the appointment, staff will provide information on where to bring your hazardous materials and at what time. If you are interested in recycling used motor oil, it can be done at curbside.
