Construction and Design
The San Joaquin County Household Hazardous Waste Facility opened its doors to the public in August of 2003. Construction costs were approximately $1,300,000. Funding for the project was provided through the County Service Area #53 (CSA #53) budget reserves.
The facility was designed by EBA Wastechnologies, an engineering and environmental consulting firm with experience in the design of household hazardous waste facilities.
