The Irvine Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center (HHWCC) is closing due to the completion of the facility lease agreement.

OC Waste & Recycling was not given the option to extend the lease, as the City of Irvine has future expansion plans for the dog park. As a result, the Irvine HHWCC will permanently close. The last day to drop off items will be December 31, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Three household hazardous waste centers in Anaheim, Huntington Beach and San Juan Capistrano remain available to meet your disposal needs.

For questions, visit OClandfills.com/Notice 或致電 714-834-4000.

Follow these tips to know what belongs in each bin to help reduce waste and contamination.

Recyclables

• Cardboard boxes (flatten before placing in the bin)
• Shopping catalogs
• Plain holiday cards and paper envelopes (no glitter or foil)
• Plastic bottles, cans and glass containers

Organics

• Small amounts of green waste (natural wreaths, garlands with no ribbons or wire)
• Uneaten holiday foods
• Small amounts of cooking grease (soak with paper towels before placing in the organics container)

Trash

• Envelopes with plastic padding
• Bubble wrap
• Wrapping paper with glitter or foil
• Bows and ribbons
• Polystyrene foam

Never dispose of hazardous materials (e.g., batteries, paint, etc.) or electronic materials (e.g., old holiday lights) in trash or recycling containers. Place electronic waste in your designated bulky item collection location and call WM Curbside at 800-499-7587 for free hazardous waste collection.

Prevent Organic Waste Generation

• Plan portions carefully to avoid over-preparing food.
• Donate excess edible food to local pantries or shelters.
• Use leftovers creatively—soups, casseroles, and sandwiches make great next-day meals.
• Freeze leftovers before they spoil.
• Share or exchange extra baked goods with neighbors and friends.

Greener Holiday Tips

• Reuse gift bags, bows, and ribbons next year.
• Avoid metallic or glittery wrapping paper.
• Donate gently used decorations.
• When in doubt, keep it out—help prevent contamination!

For questions about trash, recycling or organics, contact CR&R 在 LagunaWoods-Recycles@CRRmail.com 或致電 949-625-6735.

As the holiday season approaches and festive meals are prepared, many households generate extra fats, oils and grease (FOG), all common byproducts of cooking. While it may seem harmless to pour these substances down the drain, doing so can lead to serious plumbing issues. When FOG cools, it solidifies, creating blockages in pipes that can result in costly repairs and even sewage backups, affecting homes and neighborhoods alike.

Tips to Keep Drains Clear and Our Community’s Water System Running Smoothly

• Let FOG cool; dispose properly. After cooking, allow FOG to cool, then pour it into a container (such as an empty can or jar) and place it in your green waste container.
• Wipe before washing. Use a paper towel to wipe pans and dishes to remove residual grease before washing them.
• Do not use wipes in pipes. Keep wipes out of drains, even those marked “disposable,” as they are not safe for our sewer system.

Items to Keep Out of Your Drain

• Meat drippings
• Gravy
• Sour cream
• Shortening, lard, butter and margarine
• Mayonnaise
• Bacon grease
• Salad dressing
• Cooking oil

Following these simple steps can help protect your plumbing and ensure a smooth, hassle-free holiday season.
