Voices of Service - Preserving Veterans' Stories
 The Ontario City Library is partnering with the Empathy Archive to capture veterans’ stories in an oral history project. Veterans can share their experiences through the art of oral storytelling independently or with a guide. Participants can express themselves through a self-guided recording session during our Independent Storytelling sessions or through a personal interview with someone from the Empathy Archive during Drop-in Interview sessions. All sessions will be held at the Ovitt Family Community Library.

Ontario Yard Sale Weekend
 The City of Ontario is pleased to announce the next citywide yard (garage) sale weekend is Friday, November 7, 2025, through Sunday, November 9, 2025. If rainy conditions exist on that Friday or Saturday, an alternate yard sale may be held on November 14, 15, and 16, 2025.
In 2010, the City adopted a yard sale ordinance giving residents the opportunity to hold more sales each year on fixed dates and eliminating the need for yard sale permits and fees. The rules for signs (one 6 square foot sign on the owner’s property) and rules for merchandise to be sold (seller’s personal property only, no new or re-sold goods) remain unchanged.
If you have further questions regarding the yard sale, please contact the City of Ontario Community Improvement Department at (909) 395-2007.
📅 November 7, 8, and 9
🕒 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility
 Should that item go in your trash can? Did you know Ontario has a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Facility?
Household Hazardous Waste threatens human health and the environment when disposed of improperly. There is no charge for this program.
Reuse Center: There is a FREE reuse center where residents can pick up partially used products dropped off by other residents.
Electronic waste is accepted at this facility. See below for details.
Beware: A vehicle can drive with only 15 gallons of household hazardous waste in containers no larger than 5-gallons. Call for other parameters.
Acceptable Items:
Hazardous Waste: Motor oil and filters, auto fluids (anti-freeze, transmission fluids, etc.), paints and paint thinners, household cleaners, chemical drain cleaners, pesticides and fertilizers, weed killer, pool and hobby supplies.
Electronic Waste: Computers, TVs, stereos, cell phones and landlines, radios, iPods and MP3 players, microwave ovens.
Universal Waste: Household batteries, Sharps containers (needles), fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) and tubes, and mercury-containing devices.
Empty Containers: Plastic and metal containers including paint cans with no liquid or other residual materials in them are not considered hazardous waste, and can be recycled. Paint cans with dried paint in them are considered trash and can be disposed of.
Pharmaceuticals: Medications are accepted at the HHW facility, however, controlled substances are not acceptable. If you have leftover pharmaceuticals, do not flush them down the toilet because the contaminants will eventually make their way into groundwater, rivers, lakes and the ocean. Instead, bring unused portions to the HHW facility. You may also place them in a sealed container or bag and throw them in the trash container outside. If you are concerned that children may ingest your discards, crush and mix your medications with coffee grounds or kitty litter, place the mixture in a sealed container or bag and throw it in the trash.
All of these items present dangers to our health and environment. Please dispose of them properly. REDUCE AND REUSE. Use items that are less harmful to our environment, and share items with a friend or neighbor.
Residents Only: Businesses must contact San Bernardino County at (909) 382-5401.
For more information: Call the City of Ontario Recycling Hotline at (909) 395-2040.
