It is illegal to dispose of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) through the automated residential collection program. HHW must be disposed of at a certified hazardous waste collection center. Residents can visit the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources website for information on permanent collection facilities at www.rcwaste.org.
Household Hazardous Waste includes, but is not limited to:
Electronic waste (E-waste) is an item such as a computer monitor, television, cell phone or other like materials. Due to the high amounts of lead and chemicals found in E-waste, they are not allowed into local landfills.
Refrigerators contain Freon and other chemicals which require special handling as well. CR&R will collect these items from your curbside for a nominal charge. To arrange a curbside pick-up for E-waste or a refrigerator, please use our Online Scheduling Service.
Items that cannot fit in your automated containers, such as a chair, couch, or other household appliances are considered “bulky items.” Each residential customer is entitled to call and schedule a bulky item pick-up three (3) times per calendar year, and each call can include up to four (4) items. The total amount of annual allowable items per household shall be twelve (12) bulky items per calendar year. After twelve (12) bulky items, additional pick-ups can be provided for a nominal charge. To make arrangements for a bulky item pick-up on your regular waste collection day, please use our Online Scheduling Service.
