You must call our office in advance at 415-457-9760 to schedule the pickup of your household hazardous waste, but it need not be on the same day as your regular garbage day.

Sorry, this service is not available to our business customers.

The limit on paint and oil is three one-gallon cans total on any one pickup. Paint must be sealed in containers with original labels. Batteries, fluorescent light bulbs and cell phones should be packaged separately in paper or ziplock bags.
