Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question:
Where / when can I dispose of old pesticides ?


Answer:
Your old pesticides will be accepted at one of our free Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and Electronic Waste (E-Waste) mobile Collection events. To view a schedule of the County's upcoming collection events and to be notified of the events electronically (E-notify) visit our HHW schedule page by clicking on the provided link. Please keep in mind that it is illegal to transport more than 15 gallons or 125 pounds of hazardous waste at any given time.

In addition, the County of Los Angeles has partnered with the City of Los Angeles to allow all residents of Los Angeles County to drop off household hazardous waste at their permanent HHW/E-Waste Collection Centers in the communities of San Pedro, East Los Angeles, UCLA, Playa del Rey, Los Angeles/Glendale, and Sun Valley.
