Household Hazardous Waste
Household Hazardous Waste are materials such as, but not limited to, cleaning products, paints, chemicals, and electronics that could potentially cause fires or other dangerous outcomes when put in the trash bins. Improper disposal of Hazardous waste is dangerous and illegal.
Residents may drop off batteries at the local household hazardous waste facilities. Local home improvement stores or grocery stores may accept household batteries. The Julian Dixon Branch Library in Culver City accepts household batteries.
Other materials that may be dropped off at the HHW facility include:
Culver City’s Mattress Recycling Program, in coordination with Bye Bye Mattress through the Mattress Recycling Council, collects unwanted mattresses and box spring foundations, sorts and loads these items onto trailers by Culver City staff at the Transfer Station. After the items are loaded a dedicated mattress recycler collects materials from the City to be recycled.
Holiday Tree-cycling is offered by either the Green Cart Collection or the 'Park Your Tree' program. Flocked or artificial trees cannot be composted, place these trees in the black container.
