The City of Fillmore is setting aside two Saturdays in 2012 – April 7 to allow residents and small business owners to drop off materials, free of charge, that are not accepted in either your trash or recycling barrels for safe disposal.

The Household Hazardous Waste Days will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. both days. Residents and small business owners can bring their HHW to Fillmore’s Public Works Department yard at the corner of A Street and Sespe Place.

The Collection will accept: Latex (water-based) and oil-base paints; computers and electronics; pool and photo chemicals; cleaning solvents; pesticides and insecticides; fertilizers; automobile batteries; used motor oil and filters; single-use and rechargeable batteries; and fluorescent light bulbs.

The Collection will not accept: fireworks, smoke detectors, radioactive and medical waste; explosive materials; compressed gas cylinders; tires; or trash.

Appointments are necessary. Call 658-4323.
