HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL
Electronic waste should be taken to a household hazardous waste facility. Computer monitors, televisions, and cameras may have a cathode ray tube or picture tube that is banned from landfills. Each CRT has an average of 4 to 8 pounds of lead, which can contaminate soil and groundwater. To dispose of E-waste, El Cajon residents can drop off household hazardous waste items free of charge at 950 O’Connor St. in El Cajon by appointment on Saturdays. To book an appointment, please visit: www.elcajon.gov/ edco_appointments, email imhhw@
Household hazardous waste is any material that, if discarded improperly from the home, may pose a health threat to people, animals, and the environment. Some everyday household hazardous waste items include motor oil, paint, televisions, computers, cell phones, and batteries. Used motor oil should be brought to an oil recycling center such as an automotive service center or auto parts store. You can visit www.irecycleoil.com for a list of oil recycling centers. Never pour used oil down the storm drain as this flows directly into our waterways.
