How do I get rid of paints, pesticides, fluorescent lightbulbs, and other hazardous substances stored in my garage?
Many common household products are classified as “household hazardous waste” by the state, and may not be disposed of in your garbage can. These products include paint, solvents, pesticides, aerosols, fluorescent lights, mercury thermometers, automotive fluids, and batteries. You can dispose of these wastes safely, and at no charge to you, through the Santa Clara County Household Hazardous Waste Program. You must make an appointment to drop off your items; to make an appointment, call the Household Hazardous Waste appointment line, at (408) 299-7300.
