Twice each year, Zero Waste Marin hosts free household hazardous waste (HHW) collection events in West Marin, providing a convenient way for residents to safely dispose of hazardous household products closer to home.
Appointments are required and collection events are held each spring and fall at rotating West Marin locations.
