Pesticides & Fertilizers

Back to Material List

 

Many people have a garage full of pesticides, fertilizers and other yard and garden products.  What do you do when you want to get rid of these products?  The best way is to use them up or give them to someone who can use them.  If you can't use them or give them away, take them to the San Joaquin County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility. 

There is NO COST for San Joaquin County residents to drop off these materials at the HHW Facility for proper disposal.
 

HHW ReUse Room
If the products or items dropped off at the HHW are: 1) useable, 2) not a banned product and 3) are full enough to make it worthwhile, our hazardous materials specialists will place them in the HHW Re-Use Room, where other county residents who can use these products can take them home FREE of charge.  Why waste a perfectly good product by placing it in the trash when someone out there can re-use it?  You can feel good about helping the environment and helping people save a few bucks.

PLEASE DO NOT PLACE THESE ITEMS IN THE GARBAGE!
