Please do not place recyclable materials in plastic bags, as the recycling facility is unable to process those materials. Paper bags are acceptable.
It is illegal to put items such as electronics, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, pesticides, and other chemicals in the trash. When household hazardous wastes end up in a landfill, they can cause serious threats to humans, wildlife and the environment.
We host annual household electronic drop-off events. Please check this website and your mail periodically for details on upcoming events.
For recycling and drop off options visit Marin County’s household hazardous waste website.
