Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)

Residential Customers

Half Moon Bay residential customers can make an appointment at the San Mateo County HHW facility to get ride of unwanted, hazardous items in your home. Appointments are available Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 8 am - 2 pm

Can't make it to the San Mateo drop-off location? Sign up for one of the temporary HHW collection events held throughout San Mateo County (Half Moon Bay typically schedules one temporary event during the summer).
