HHW/DOCUMENT SHREDDING EVENT
HAPPENING SATURDAY, MAY 11

The City of Tucson's Environmental and General Services Department (EGSD) hosts Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events on the second Saturday of every month. The next one is Saturday, June 8, 2024, from 8 a.m. to noon at Jacobs Park.

City residents can drop off HHW, electronic waste (E-waste), paper documents for shredding (limit 3 boxes), recyclables, and glass bottles and jars at no charge. Unknown chemicals will not be accepted.

City residents can also drop off HHW at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus at 5300 E. Los Reales Road on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Due to the collection event, the Los Reales HHW Drop-off will not be open on Saturday. It is free for City of Tucson residents with proof of address. Residents from Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, and unincorporated Pima County will be charged a $10 fee to drop off materials.

Please check the list of what the HHW program accepts before dropping items off. Medical waste, such as sharps, syringes, or old medications is not allowed. Do not bring business or commercial waste, commercial gas cylinders, explosives or ammunition, infectious and radioactive waste, dried paint, or CRT monitors.

Why? 

Common household and automotive products are harmful to the environment when disposed of improperly. Unused household hazardous waste should never be poured down the drain, put into the trash, or stored for excessive periods of time.

Through the HHW Program, residents can drop off their materials and they will be safely recycled, reused, or disposed of properly. Every year thousands of Tucsonans are doing their part to keep Tucson clean and safe - you can too! The Tucson HHW service is available to all residents and fees are determined by residency.
