L.A. Sanitation S.A.F.E Collection Center Operations at UCLA
LA Sanitation (LASAN) has established programs for Los Angeles City and L.A. County residents to safely dispose of their household hazardous waste (HHW) and electronic waste (E-waste). These types of waste can be dropped off at collection sites known as S.A.F.E. Centers or mobile collection events located throughout the City of Los Angeles. LA City operates a collection center on UCLA campus.
For assistance with this program you can contact LA Sanitation 24-hour Customer Care Center 1-800-773-2489. UCLA does not manage this program and is unable to provide information about this program.
