Anaheim Household Hazardous Waste & E-Waste Collection Center

This place is awesome!
I had a little trouble finding an e-​waste facility and Unilocal came to the rescue. I was apprehensive as they have no public phone number to call to make sure, but some Unilocalers recommended them.
You just drive in and they come up to your car and get your excess electronics. I dropped off large a Dell multi-​function printer. No problem.

Love this place! Super easy dropping off of hazardous materials and waste. Most of all, it’s free to Anaheim residents!
Some hints — you can’t get out of your car. Put the items you are disposing of in your trunk. Turn your car off as soon as you approach. Even if you’re the next car in line, turn it off!
Stay in your car! (Yes, I’m repeating it). Roll down your window and be super nice to these guys. While you may think their job is easy, it isn’t. They may tell you that can’t accept something. They don’t make up the rules so don’t yell at them.
Thank them for taking your extra crap you no longer need but don’t know how to get it rid of.
So why only 4 stars? Because they are closed Mon-​Wed. I actually work weekends and my days off are Tues/​Wed. Makes it kind of sucky to visit them. Otherwise, this is a great service to our community and assures items are properly disposed of.

Convenient, quick and friendly staff. I dropped off a non-​working blue ray player and some old cleaning and paint spray products. Didn’t have to get out of the car because they take it out for you so just make sure you put all the products you are recycling in your trunk so it’s easy for them to get.

I have been using this center for years and usually come on a Saturday afternoon.
This morning I needed to get rid of some electronic waste and not being sure of their hours, I checked their web site. They open Tue through Sat, so off I went. When I arrived they were closed. The sign said they were closed Mon through Wed.
It would have been nice if someone would update their web site!
Come on Anaheim… get the site correct.
Later: after checking with the OC hazardous waste headquarters I’m told that there are two companies operating at this location. Their operating hours are Tue through Sat from 9:00 to 3pm

These guys are awesome, courteous, and as professional as you can ask for!

Very easy to use and always a great on a Saturday to drop trash and recycling stuff off especially large cardboard boxes cans bottles etc.

Dropped off a TV a few months ago.
Dropped off a non-​working microwave a few days ago.
You don’t even have to get out of the car.
Follow the signs to the drive-​through (there is never a line). Follow the instructions, which includes turning off your engine, which you will turn back on anyway after 20 seconds.
They take it out of your trunk after asking you a couple questions, and off you go.
They do not take business/​commercial equipment however, such as tons of old computer parts. But they are helpful enough to tell you where to take them.
Please do not leave your old electronics out on the driveway for weeks. Dispose of your e-​waste properly! Or call the city and schedule a pick-​up appointment. I think they do that too! =)

Took in 20 yrs of old paint cans and never got out of my truck. No paperwork, just
tell them which city you live in. They also take old TVs and electronics, propane tanks. Finally, something the city does right!

This place is a dump.
Seriously … it’s fine for hazardous waste disposal. Don’t drive the Ferrari there … there is often broken glass in and around the parking lot as you weave through people bringing tons of glass and cans in (don’t these people have regular garbage pickups?). Fine for bringing your old printers, TV, etc. My guess is that it gets shipped off to the third world and dumped there, but it makes you feel less guilty to have been an eco-​conscious recycler.

A great way to be environmentally conscious and dispose of your e-​waste the proper way. I think that if you live in Orange County there is no fee and it is completely free. One of the perks of coming here is that you just pop open your trunk and they take everything out for you. No need to get out of your car — strictly drive-​thru. But be prepared for the smell of the waste dump nearby. After you dispose of your e-​waste you can stop by Ricas Tortas down the block.
