We recognize that residents are more than mere consumers of public health services. In addition to health services, our health department is involved in a variety of community-based activities that engage residents in the planning, evaluation and implementation of health activities in their communities. Many of those services and activities are profiled on this site.
Household Hazardous Waste
Household hazardous wastes such as cleaners, paints, car products, and pesticides that are toxic, flammable or poisonous can pose serious health risks to you, your children, pets and the environment. Don’t pour them down the storm drain. Recycle them safely at no cost (to County residents)!
Alameda County Household Hazardous Waste Program has drop-off locations in Oakland, Fremont, Hayward and Livermore. For details about what you can/can’t drop off, recycling for small businesses, medical sharp disposals, even alternatives to hazardous household products visit stopwaste.org.
