Two county departments and city remind residents on waste recycling
Two county departments and the city of Upland are reminding residents how to recycle batters, used oil and other household hazardous waste.
The Department of Transportation now requires the taping o f battery terminals except for alkaline batteries AA, AAA, C and D.
Nine volt batteries and all other batteries need to be taped to prevent contact of terminals.
Residents looking to recycled used oil are asked to request a free container during household hazardous waste hours or city yard hours between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Residents can also ask for a free used oil filter container.
All other household hazardous waste must be placed in boxes in single layers with a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pound per trip.
For a recorded list of accepted items call 909-931-4343.
The Upland City Yard is at 1370 N. Benson Ave.
Recycling waste is something that we should try to do in a regular basis to avoid clutter in our homes and to be able to educate others regarding proper waste disposal.
