Tucson residents looking to dispose of any hazardous materials can do so this Saturday at the city’s monthly Household Hazardous Waste collection event.

According to the city, residents can “drop off HHW, electronic waste (E-waste), recyclables, and glass bottles and jars at no charge. Unknown chemicals will not be accepted.”
The city noted the program is free for Tucson residents; those who reside in Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, and unincorporated Pima County will have to pay a $15 fee.
