The City of Auburn Environmental Services Department hosts two Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days in the spring and fall. Our Household Hazardous Waste Collection events are scheduled for March 23, 2024, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., and October 12, 2024, from 9 am until 1 p.m.

LOCATION CHANGE: Please note, this year’s events will be held at the brand new Environmental Services Complex at 4277 Wire Road.

During these events, we will accept your paper documents for secure, on-site shredding as well as computers/electronics for recycling.

On the day of the event, participants should load the materials they wish to drop off in the trunk or rear of their vehicle. Participants should enter the Environmental Services Complex via Wire Road and follow the signage.

Citizens may bring up to 20 pounds of material per household for disposal. Participation is limited to Auburn residents. Proof of residency can be shown by bringing a recent water bill.
