Household Hazardous Waste

Find out how to safely dispose of household hazardous waste at the John Smith Road Landfill. View accepted materials, event dates, and drop-off guidelines for San Benito County residents.

John Smith Road Landfill

Household Hazardous Waste Collection for San Benito County Residents

The JSR Landfill hosts Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events to allow San Benito County residents to lawfully dispose of household hazardous waste that is not accepted by the landfill. There is no charge for dropping off HHW during a collection event.

HHW items are any unused or leftover portions of products containing toxic chemicals. These products are often labeled with warnings of poison, danger, caution, warning, or other precautionary statements. Any hazardous waste that you use in your home, yard, or garage, including automotive fluids (oil, gas, etc.), can be brought to HHW collection events.

These events are sponsored by the County of San Benito Integrated Waste Management Regional Agency, to serve the cities of Hollister, San Juan Bautista, and the unincorporated areas of San Benito County.

For additional information on collection programs, call the San Benito County Integrated Waste Management Regional Agency at (831) 636-4170.

HHW Drop-Off Event Info

Plan ahead and mark your calendar. Household Hazardous Waste events take place on the third Saturday of each month. Drop-offs are quick and easy, but make sure to follow the guidelines and bring proof of residency to participate.

  • Third Saturday of every month
  • 9am – 12pm (noon)
  • Maximum 15 gallons or 125 pounds per load
  • Residents only (not businesses); proof of residency required
