It has been a couple years now since household hazardous waste collection has moved into the new…read morePublic Works center on Lion and even though the old location was much closer to my house, this new facility is much better for everyone involved - volunteers and residents alike. A lot of cities in the IE have hazardous waste collection only once a month, or even once a quarter, but we are fortunate in Rancho to have collection every Saturday from 8am to noon (minus Saturdays of a holiday weekend). They take a wide variety of hazardous waste including electronics waste including monitors and TVs, pesticides, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, motor oil, anti-freeze, brake fluid, paint, and more. Their website says they don't take tires or medical waste/sharps (though all RC fire stations have free medical sharps collection). This new location is in a permanent building, instead of sealand containers, and has a huge covered portico to keep it shady in the summer and dry in the winter. Everything is always well organized to get in and out fast. You may need to provide proof of residency, I usually have my water or trash bill with me that shows the address, just in case.

I think we can all agree that we need to do our parts to make sure that our landfills are being…read morefilled with hazardous crap, which makes me appreciate this place all the more. You can always count on this place being open every Saturday, except for major holidays. Located on 9th Street between Hellman and Vineyard, you go south on Lion St. until it dead ends at their building. You go into their driveway and follow the path to left which will ultimately lead you to the drop off point. You fill out the paperwork, and the guys will unload your items. I have dropped off old batteries, monitors and other electronic devices. The city has made hazardous waste disposal a no-brainer. Great job, Rancho!

All the networking opportunities that have been provided by this chamber gave my family and I the chance and opportunity to grow and expand our business.
