Household hazardous waste (paint, batteries, chemicals, motor oil) is not accepted through regular or bulky pickup β residents should use the Orange County HHW collection center at 1071 N.

Dumping bulky items at the curb without scheduling pickup is a code violation. Illegal dumping on public property or in common areas carries fines and potential misdemeanor charges. Items left on the curb for extended periods are subject to code enforcement action and administrative citations.
