Associate civil engineer Haroon, with the City of El Salvador, announced a hazardous-waste drop-off event in Los Altos on Feb. 28 and urged residents to sign up for appointments.
Haroon said, "Households generate about 20 pounds of hazardous waste every year," and listed common items that qualify for the drop-off, including "batteries, paint, [and] cleaning supplies." He warned that "tossing it in the trash can send toxic chemicals into the waterways and landfills."
The announcement frames the drop-off as a public-service effort to prevent household hazardous materials from entering local landfills or waterways. Haroon asked residents to "Sign up for an appointment today" and to "make sure to check your confirmation email for the new address," indicating that registrants receive a specific event location via email after signing up.
The city did not provide additional details during the announcement about hours, accepted quantities per vehicle, or whether commercial hazardous waste is eligible; those specifics were not specified in the transcript. Residents seeking more information should consult the city's event sign-up or confirmation materials for logistical details.
