De Anza Park Groundbreaking
 Join us on Tuesday, December 9, for a groundbreaking ceremony at De Anza Park!
De Anza Park will be temporarily closed beginning now through Spring 2027 as it undergoes a full, Measure Q-funded renovation. This investment will bring exciting new amenities to our community, including:
- Ontario’s first Skate Park
- A brand-new Splash Pad
- A reimagined Playground
- An artificial turf Football/Soccer Field
During construction, the De Anza Community & Teen Center will remain open, continuing to offer all the programs and activities you enjoy.

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.
