This Saturday, Citrus Heights residents will have a final free opportunity to dispose of hazardous items like paint, cleaning supplies, vehicle batteries and fluorescent light bulbs, at the last of three Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off events held in the city this year.
Sponsored by Republic Services and the City, the drop-off is open to any Citrus Heights resident, as long as proof of residency – like a recent bill – is provided.
The first event of 2014 was held in February, followed by a drop-off in June, with the third and final drop-off date being scheduled for October 18, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot behind Women’s Macy’s at Sunrise Mall.
Not all hazardous items will be accepted, including ammunition, explosives, pharmaceuticals, radioactive material, household batteries, “home-generated sharps,” and used oil — but some of these items can be disposed of through home and curbside collection.
Although appointments are not required, residents are encouraged to call Republic Services at (916) 725-9060 for more information, or to schedule an appointment.
A flier for the event can be viewed here.
