HHW/DOCUMENT SHREDDING EVENT
HAPPENING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11
The City of Tucson's Environmental Services Department (ESD) hosts Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events on the second Saturday of every month. The next one is Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Rodeo Grounds located at 4823 S. 6th Ave (enter on 3rd Ave).
City residents can drop off HHW, electronic waste (E-waste), paper documents for shredding (limit 3 boxes), recyclables, and glass bottles and jars at no charge. Unknown chemicals will not be accepted.
These monthly events are a convenient way to responsibly dispose of hazardous materials and help protect our environment. Please note that the HHW Community Collection events will take a summer break in 2026.
City residents can also drop off HHW at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus at 5300 E. Los Reales Road on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Due to the collection event, the Los Reales Drop-off will not be open on second Saturdays. It is free for City of Tucson residents with proof of address. Residents from Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, and unincorporated Pima County will be charged a $10 fee to drop off materials.
Please check the list of what the HHW program accepts before dropping items off. Medical waste, such as sharps, syringes, or old medications is not allowed. Do not bring business or commercial waste, commercial gas cylinders, explosives or ammunition, infectious and radioactive waste, dried paint, or CRT monitors.
