Kern County household hazardous waste collection info for April
Staff report
Residential household hazardous waste can always be dropped off at the Ridgecrest Special Waste Facility, located at 3301 Bowman Road, the second and fourth Saturday of each month, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Residential hazardous wastes are products, purchased for use in or around the home, that when improperly discarded, may threaten human health or the environment. These products include: household cleaners, deodorizers, personal hygiene products, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, pet care products, paint products, photographic chemicals, swimming pool chemicals, and automotive products and fluids. Even though a product can be easily purchased at the local store, it can still be harmful to you, your family, and the environment.
