RecycleMore is hosting a household hazardous waste (HHW) and mattress drop-off event in Richmond on Saturday, Sept. 21.
HHW such as old batteries or leftover paint, along with mattresses you no longer need, can be dropped off from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Galileo Club at 371 S 23rd St., Richmond.
This is a free event open to residents of West Contra Costa County that includes El Cerrito, Richmond, San Pablo, Pinole, Hercules, and surrounding unincorporated communities of Bayview, East Richmond Heights, El Sobrante, Montalvin Manor, North Richmond, Rollingwood, and Tara Hills. Be sure to bring proof of residency.
“This is a great event for residents in the RecycleMore jurisdiction and offers a free and safe way for the community to properly dispose of unwanted HHW items,” says RecycleMore Executive Director Peter Holtzclaw.
