The second Friday and Saturday of every month the city of Camarillo assists its residents with a 
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM.
The accepted items are:
Antifreeze, solvents, pesticides, household cleaners, pool and garden chemicals, household and car batteries, lancets, fluorescent light tubes, cathode ray tubes, computers, compressed gas cylinders, fire extinguishers, oil based or latex paint, antifreeze, unused or expired medication, and motor oil and filters.
For additional information, please call (805) 388-5392.
In order to take advantage of this recycling program, appointments must be made in advance: (805) 987-0717
All communities should do this to ensure that these hazardous materials are properly disposed of. Many people are not ver conscientious when it comes to the environment and many are simply uninformed. This service should be mandatory nationwide.
Mana, this is a great idea, because most people don't know how to properly dispose of this material, and that includes the new CFL bulbs.
Hi Mana,
Good information. I like the idea that it's a scheduled pick-up, that way locals can plan on it.
Pat, I agree. I believe in order to make this a habit, recycling should become available and easy for the consumers first.
Gary, That's very true. Making programs like this available to a community and educating a community seems a must these days.
Lynda, Me too. I hope this way people get in the habit of making the call.
Hi Mana, this is a fantastic program! This is all nasty stuff, just imagine it getting in to the water table. Bleckh. :)
Mana--Good post! This is important information for the people in Ventura County! You know so much about your area! :)
