The city of Sedona and Yavapai County will host the free Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Collection Event on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the Sedona Red Rock High School parking lot at 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Rd.

In addition to household hazardous waste and electronics, participants may also bring medical waste and paper documents for shredding. This event is for residents of Sedona and unincorporated Yavapai County. No commercial business waste will be accepted.

Disposing of hazardous waste in landfills contaminates drinking water and can kill wildlife. Throwing out electronics can waste billions of dollars in recoverable materials such as gold, silver, coltan, copper, palladium, platinum and other valuable metals. Proper disposal is important for protecting the health of humans and the environment. Waste collected at the event will be by partners Clean Harbors, Westech Recyclers, Ponderosa Medical and Assured Document Destruction.

For a detailed list of the acceptable and unacceptable materials for this event, please visit www.sedonaaz.gov/waste-collection.
