Friendly people - 2 of them and they don’t accept tip. They swipe your resident ID to make sure you’re a resident of Contra Costa. Then they take the items from your car. Super way process. They take paint, electronics, lightbulbs.

Can you take old paint that other people gave dropped off

Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility | Aug 27, 2021

Under normal circumstances, items that are mostly full and have a legible label are placed in our Reuse Room for other residents to take and reuse. We cannot guarantee the quality of those items and a waiver form must be completed to take the items. Unfortunately, with the pandemic, the Reuse Room is closed at the moment. Our website will be updated once the Reuse Room is open. Visit us at https://www.deltadiablo.org/household-hazardous-waste for more info.

What is an approved sharps container and where do I get one?

Kirsten Werk | Aug 27, 2021
Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility | Aug 27, 2021

An approved sharps container is typically a 1.4 liter container that is made for holding sharps (they are puncture proof). They can usually be found in pharmacies/drug stores. Also, if you are new to the sharps program and live in our service area (Antioch, Bay Point, Bethel Island, Brentwood, Byron, Discovery Bay, Knightsen, Oakley or Pittsburg), you can have a sharps container mailed to you and you can exchange full ones for empty ones at the HHW facility. Call (925) 756-1900 to request.
