ORANGE COUNTY, CA (August 20, 2024) – OC Waste & Recycling is pleased to announce the successful collaboration with Disneyland Resort in organizing a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event, which was held on May 30, 2024, in Anaheim. The event aimed to provide Disneyland Resort cast members and employees with a convenient and safe way to dispose of household hazardous waste materials.
During the event, OC Waste & Recycling, supported by Orange County Conservation Corps and Disneyland Resort, collected an impressive total of over 5,900 pounds of household hazardous waste and 1,218 pounds of e-waste. This initiative underscores our commitment to environmental stewardship and community welfare by ensuring that hazardous materials are disposed of responsibly. Household hazardous waste includes items such as old paint, batteries, and electronic waste, which require special handling for safe disposal.
OC Waste & Recycling continues to encourage Orange County residents to participate in future events and dispose of hazardous materials responsibly. The Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center is open to residents Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at four of our locations throughout the county.
