Hazardous and electronic waste accounts for significant amounts of toxic waste in landfills. Items such as electronics, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, paints, pesticides, cleaning products, old medications, and other chemicals are illegal to put in the garbage or pour down a drain or gutter because they contaminate our soil, drinking water, and air.
Throughout the year Mariposa County hosts free household hazardous waste and electronics drop-off days for residents. For more information, please visit Mariposa County’s Household Hazardous Waste page or call the landfill at 209.966.5165.
