Event Guidelines

  • Have your current city services bill and matching photo ID readily available for the staff. 
  • Separate electronic items from the chemicals for faster unloading.
  • Place smaller HHW items inside a box or container when possible. 
  • If you have a damaged bucket or container with hazardous liquids that is leaking or may leak, please place it in a secondary bucket or container to avoid spills.
  • FOR YOUR SAFETY, PLEASE STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES. Event staff will unload all of your materials for you. Your vehicle will NOT be unloaded unless you are in the vehicle.
  • Non-hazardous materials brought, in error, to events will be sorted and disposed of as municipal solid waste. In addition, latex paint containers containing small amounts of less than one gallon will be disposed of in the same manner.
  • For only large electronics or large amounts of electronic items, please contact eGreenIT Solutions at 602-944-4151 for details. Residents will be allowed up to two CRT units per month, per household free of charge.  After the first two CRT units, a $30 fee will be charged for each additional CRT device. All fees will be the responsibility of the resident.
