IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Over 1,000 San Pedro and Wilmington students ranging from 5th to 9th grade took part in an in-depth cultural field trip to the Warner Grand Theater to enjoy a performance by the LA Opera. The students were treated to a 50-minute performance of The Magic Dream, a light-hearted version of Mozart’s The Magic Flute! The event was partially funded by Supervisor Knabe’s Arts Education Partnership Program.

Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Waste disposal

Supervisor Knabe:

How can the residents of Hacienda Heights schedule a Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Waste round-up?  I have lived here for 6 years and have never heard or seen of an event for our residents.  I have tried to take stuff to waste round-ups in La Habra and La Habra Heights but am turned away as I am not a resident.

Can you help get us an annual schedule for hazardous waste round-ups?

Kate

Dear Kate:

Thank you for your efforts to help recycle household hazardous and electronic waste materials and keep our environment clean.
Almost every Saturday the County conducts mobile Household Hazardous/Electronic Waste (HHW/E-Waste) collection events at different locations in the County.

To find a location near Hacienda Heights and obtain an updated schedule of the upcoming HHW/E-Waste events, please visit www.888CLEANLA.com or call our 1(888) CLEAN LA hotline. The website also provides you the option to sign-up for the e¬notify feature where you would receive electronic notifications of upcoming events in the vicinity of your residence.

Our events are advertised through community newspapers, banners, and flyer distributions. We do not ask for proof of residency at our collection events, since these events are open to all residents. Please note that besides our events, many cities coordinate their own collection events where only their residents can participate.

We are planning a HHW/E-Waste collection event in the Rowland Heights area later this year. The following is a list of three upcoming County HHW/E-Waste collection events that may be of convenience to the Hacienda Heights residents:
