Kern County Public Works sponsors Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events, in outlying areas, each year. During these half-day opportunities, residents have the chance to bring left-over residential hazardous waste for safe and easy disposal/recycling. If you have residential hazardous waste, these locations and dates might be the opportunity you’ve been looking for to get it off your hands and safely out of your home.

*Business waste not accepted. Collection events may be canceled due to weather conditions.

View information about the type of materials that are accepted and transportation/handling guidelines here.
