Two Riverside County Hazardous Waste Facilities Expanding Hours in 2017

December 28, 2016 by Ole Leave a Comment

The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources announced that it will be expanding the service hours of the household hazardous waste collection facilities at the landfills in Moreno Valley and Beaumont beginning on January 2, 2017.

These services are for Riverside County residents only, and are aimed at keeping household hazardous waste out of landfills. Waste from businesses or non-profits is not allowed.

From a Riverside County News Release:

The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources will expand the service collection days for the antifreeze, battery, oil, paint (ABOP) and PaintCare Facility from one day a week to 6 days each week, at the landfills in Moreno Valley and Beaumont. Beginning January 2, 2017, the newly expanded services will be available for free to Riverside County residents from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday, except on holidays. The Badlands Landfill is located at 31125 Ironwood Ave. in Moreno Valley and the Lamb Canyon Landfill is located at 16411 Lamb Canyon Road in Beaumont.

The ABOP and PaintCare Facilities provide an opportunity for Riverside County residents to keep household hazardous waste out of landfills and ensure that it is properly managed.

The release states that typical waste accepted at these facilities “includes antifreeze, household and automotive batteries, used motor oil and oil filters, paints, cooking oil, aerosols, mercury containing equipment, fluorescent bulbs/tubes, and electronic wastes such as televisions, computers, VCRs and telephones”.

The release does not specifically mention old fuel. I have some to get rid of so I will to call to find out if they will accept it.

There are limits. No contaminated waste will be accepted, and loads must not exceed 15 gallons (in no more than 5 gallon containers) or 125 pounds (no more than 50 pounds per container) per vehicle.

For more information, view the news release and/or contact the department:

The Side of the Road is not a Dump

July 28, 2012 by Ole Leave a Comment

Abandoned couch by Lake Mathews It bothers me to see trash dumped on the side of the road. Why do people do this? Laziness? Cost? Apathy?

Whatever the reason, I decided to show people just how easy it is to visit the landfill.

I go to the El Sobrante Landfill in Corona, which is less than 10 miles away from Lake Mathews Dam where the couch shown above was dumped.

El Sobrante LandfillEl Sobrante - EWaste

The entrance to the El Sobrante Landfill is on Dawson Canyon Road off of Temescal Canyon Road. The first place you reach when you drive up the road to the landfill is the weigh station. The basic process is very simple:

  1. When the light turns green, drive onto the scale and check in with the attendant. The attendant will ask what you are dumping, weigh your vehicle and provide a safety vest if you don’t have one.
  2. Follow the signs to the landfill area. When you reach the area designated for cars and light trucks, you should be guided to a specific spot by an attendant. Back up and unload.
  3. Drive back down to the weigh station, get your empty vehicle weighed, and pay the attendant.

My most recent trip cost me $11.

If you plan to go more than once, the attendant can give you a sticker with the weight of your empty vehicle. This will allow you to pay when you enter and skip the scale on the way out. I do this, and it is definitely more convenient.
