Residents of Orange County looking for alternatives for disposing of household “universal waste” such as batteries, electronics, old cell phones or fluorescent light tubes have a number of local options, according to Waste Management of Orange County.
As of Feb. 9, all Californians must dispose of items deemed “universal waste” by the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) at designated recycling centers or household hazardous waste collection centers. Products like this, which have low levels of hazardous metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium, can potentially contaminate soil and groundwater, so they cannot be disposed of in the trash and subsequently deposited into landfills.

Spring cleaning season isn’t too far off and rather than trying to stuff all of your unwanted items into your trash cans, Waste Management of Orange County has some other options for you.
While you or your family might find certain items unusable, there are other groups who might envision a second life for them. In addition to local churches, shelters, schools or nonprofit organizations, check out Freecycle. Waste Management is a partner with Freecycle, an online network where members give away and get items for free in their own communities – rather than filling up our landfills with gently used items, find someone else in your community who could put it to good use!
