San Antonio Hosts Special Event for Safe Disposal of Hazardous Waste

San Antonio is gearing up for a fantastic two-day event aimed at helping residents safely dispose of household hazardous waste. Mark your calendars for March 7 and March 8, 2025, as these dates are all about keeping our city clean and green! From 8 a.m. to noon each day, you can drop off your unwanted hazardous materials at the Bitters Drop-Off Center, located at 1800 Wurzbach Parkway.

Who Can Join the Fun?

This event is exclusively for customers of the Solid Waste Management Department in San Antonio. If you’re a resident, don’t forget to bring a valid picture ID to confirm your participation. It’s also necessary to provide a copy of your most recent CPS Energy bill, which helps officials ensure that only local residents are utilizing this helpful service. The best part?

What Can You Drop Off?

While the specifics weren’t listed, this typically includes unwanted household cleaners, old paint, or anything that’s not safe to throw away with your regular trash.

Are There Any No-Go Items?

Just a heads-up, not everything is eligible for drop-off. There are non-accepted items that the guidelines will outline, so it’s a good idea to check before you load up your car. And don’t worry, there are limits on some materials you can bring, adding another layer of safety to the event.
