Santa Clarita and Culver City also have events scheduled in this period — the exact dates were not captured in our Oct 30 check, so confirm the date at CleanLA.com.
These cities have hosted county events too — past 2026 examples included Pasadena (Feb 14), Rosemead (Jan 31), El Monte and Altadena.
Permanent drop-off centers
Seven City of Los Angeles S.A.F.E. Centers — generally open Saturday–Sunday, 9am–3pm, with per-center exceptions — plus two LA County permanent centers. We list area names only and link you to the official page for the street address.
What is accepted — highlights
- E-waste: TVs, computers, phones and other electronics at S.A.F.E. Centers and county events.
- Household hazardous waste: paint, motor oil, batteries and bulbs — never in curbside trash.
- Not accepted: solar panels are not accepted at county HHW events or permanent centers.
- New in California: SB 1215 expands covered e-waste to battery-embedded products from January 1, 2026.
