Clean Harbors Environmental Services

Great Service!
helped me cleaned out all the chemicals and reagents from my lab during the move
packed and shipped everything!

I may be guilty of a lot of things (like speeding, jaywalking or taking the last chocolate chip cookie out of the cookie jar) but I’ll never be found guilty of not doing my part in protecting mother earth.
The City of Carlsbad offers several environmental waste programs to practice environmental stewardship. One of the many is a program offered through Clean Harbors which allows you to properly discard hazardous materials such as e-​waste, household cleaners, batteries, chemicals, oil, paint etc. These items should not be tossed out in the regular trash so please educate yourself on how to properly dispose of these items.
I’ve used Clean Harbors on several occasions and today, they just picked up the latest batch from us. All you have to do is call to set up an appointment, leave the box/​bag of items on the curb with a payment of $ 10 and they will come pick it up for you. EASY! Usually my neighbor and I go in on it together to save on the cost and it works out perfectly for us. We just compile our items and have them come every 6 months or annually.
You can also arrange to drop off items for free but time and dates are infrequent so it’s always been easier for me to schedule an appointment. If you’re concerned about spending $ 10, look for friends, neighbors or family members that may want to split it with you. I find that most people want to do the right thing but find it inconvenient or don’t know where to start. But if you’re reading this — you have no excuses. Here’s the link to learn more.
If this review isn’t enough to get you to start caring for the environment — turn on the evening news and see how BP is destroying our most precious resources. We’ve got to do our part. A little goes a long way. Hopefully you take advantage of this service and I won’t be the only review here. If reading this review from out of town, check your cities website to see what services your area provides. Happy Recycling…
