The program is free to residents of the City of Tucson. Residents from Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, and unincorporated Pima County will be charged a $10 fee. To prove residency, you must show a driver’s license or current utility bill.

Why?

Typical household and automotive products harm the environment when disposed of improperly. Unused household hazardous waste should never be poured down the drain, put into the trash, or stored for excessive periods of time.
