This special event is available to residents in the unincorporated area of Santa Barbara County (e.g. Santa Ynez, Los Olivos, Los Alamos, Ballard) and the City of Solvang. Sorry, no Buellton residents. (Buellton residents can instead bring their waste to the City's next household hazardous waste collection event.)
Bring up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds of waste per trip. Keep in mind that no trash, treated wood, or green waste will be accepted. And leave your biological, explosive, and radioactive materials at home (with the exception of smoke detectors).
Businesses can make an appointment to drop-off hazardous waste between 8am and 9am on the day of the event. To make an appointment or get more information please call Rob from Clean Harbors at: (805) 504-7135
