A licensed hazardous-waste contractor will be on hand to collect the wastes, which cannot be legally disposed of in household garbage. Up to 5 gallons of waste products will be accepted per car. None of the material will be buried at the landfill.
The household hazardous-waste roundup is sponsored by Los Angeles County in cooperation with local sanitation districts.
