Curbside recycling offered in Rossmoor for harmful products

The door-to-door Universal Waste Collection Program is under way
in Rossmoor and is provided by Curbside, Inc., in partnership
with the Golden Rain Foundation.

This program makes it possible for all residents to recycle potentially harmful products. Curbside, Inc. collects items that cannot
be placed in the trash or recycling bins such as aerosols,
batteries (alkaline, NICAD), fluorescent lamps, thermometers
and all electronics, such as computers and televisions.

Home pickup is not available for ammunition, medical waste, nuclear/radioactive waste, explosives or commercial chemicals.

Residents can call 1-800-449-7587 to schedule the collection of
waste directly from their homes. Participant names and
information will be requested. Prior to collection, residents
will be sent a special household hazardous waste kit
with further instructions, and a bag to help hold
the materials safely and securely.

Residents will not be required to be at home when materials
are collected, unless in-home assistance with gathering
and packing materials is required.
