Household Hazardous Waste Collection

Riverside County Waste Management conducts several Household Hazardous Waste collection events every year. The closest collection events for the City of Perris are in Moreno Valley.

Before transporting waste to the collection event or facility, please use this checklist to make sure you have done the following:

• Have I used up every product to the fullest extent possible?
• Is the waste in its original container or is it properly labeled as to the contents?
  (The contents of the container must be the same as stated on the label. If not, cover up the label and write the name of its content.)
• Have I offered good, usable products I can’t use to my neighbor, family or friends?
• Are the items placed in a sturdy container, such as cardboard or wooden box, for transporting?
  (Wrap glass bottles in newspaper to prevent breakage.)
• Does the amount of waste I want to transport exceed 5 gallons or 50 pounds?
  (Each load must not exceed 5 gallons or 50 pounds per State Law. Container volume must not exceed 5 gallons.)
• Is the box placed in the trunk of your car or in the bed of your pickup truck and secured to prevent movement?
  (Keep items away from passengers.)
• Are any of the containers leaking?
  (If they are, place them in a container or material that will not allow the leak to spread and place securely in the vehicle for safe transport.)

Follow directions once you reach the event site. You will be asked to turn off your motor and stay in your vehicle. The site staff will unload the material from your vehicle.
