I had an unfortunate oil spill in my car on the way over - the employees (volunteers?) there helped me clean it up! Very friendly and great people.

The service is OK. But it is crazy they are only open a few hours a week. Not convenient.
Cesar Bustos

Also where is the location to drop it off??
Hi there! Great question. Yes, we do take antifreeze and coolant. Residents can bring a maximum of 15 gallons per trip to the Community Hazardous Waste Collection Center.
Hello there! Excellent question. Carpinteria residents have a local hazardous waste drop-off sponsored by the City of Carpinteria. Location, operation hours, and more information can be found online here: http://www.ci.carpinteria.ca.us/public_works/hazardous_materials.shtml Thank you!
Hi there, Mitch! Thank you so much for inquiring about safe medication disposal. Over-the-counter medications cannot be disposed of in our local take-back program. Instead, they should be emptied out of their current container and mixed with cat litter, dirt, or other undesirable substance. This prevents animals, children, or other individuals from finding them. Then take the mixture and put it into a different container, like a coffee can or sealed sandwich bag, and then dispose of the whole thing in the trash. I hope that is helpful. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us via the "Contact Us" feature on www.lessismore.org. Thanks for the great question!
Hi there! Thank you for the great question. We cannot accept sharps or pharmaceuticals at our Community Hazardous Waste Collection Center. There are many locations that accepts sharps for free around the County. Please visit, https://www.lessismore.org/sharps to find a location near you, or call (805) 882-3603. Thanks!
Hi there, Barbara! The Community Hazardous Waste Collection Center is open every Saturday and Sunday unless otherwise noted on our Google listing. Thanks for your question!
Hi Elliot! We do not accept treated wood at the Community Hazardous Waste Collection Center (CHWCC). We only accept it at our transfer stations.

Hi there! Thanks for checking us out on Google.

Good afternoon, Donna. Sorry for our delayed response. No, you cannot leave any chemical waste near your trash or recycling containers. All household hazardous chemicals should be brought to the Community Hazardous Waste Collection Center on Saturdays (from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) or Sundays (from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). Thank you for checking!
Yes, as Jonathan already kindly answered, we accept all types of fluorescent light bulbs. To avoid breakage, please transfer them in boxes or another safe container. Thank you!
Yes, they take those.
