Residents of member cities can utilize permanent household hazardous waste facilities in Poway, Vista and Escondido or call for door-to-door pick-up at 858-481-SAFE (7233). Residents of contract cities, Carlsbad and San Marcos may only use the Poway and Vista sites and the door-to-door program. Other cities and the county have not contracted to use the RSWA facilities, therefore residents must check with their own jurisdiction for proper disposal options.
