Central LA: Los Angeles - Glendale S.A.F.E. Center | LA Sanitation & Environment

Summary

S.A.F.E. Centers (Solvents/Automotive/Flammables/Electronics) are permanent collection facilities that are open every weekend for City of Los Angeles residents and LA County residents to safely dispose of their household hazardous waste (HHW) and electronic waste (e-waste).

Visit our service page for a list of accepted items. This service is provided free of charge to residents. Small businesses can dispose of their hazardous waste through the Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) Program for a fee.

Because this S.A.F.E. Center is located within a water reclamation plant, a state-issued photo ID is required at the security gate prior to entry. Please note that S.A.F.E. Centers may close or experience modified hours during inclement weather.
