Lakewood residents can dispose of household hazardous waste and electronic waste for free at EDCO’s large transfer facility in Signal Hill on select Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
EDCO previously offered the service on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month.
As of July 2026, the facility is operating on a new schedule, generally offering one drop-off event each month, with some exceptions.
The next event is Saturday, Aug. 8 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. In September, there will be two dates, Sept. 12 and Sept. 26.
See the full schedule of dates in the sidebar.

The 68,000-square-foot facility is a traditional dump transfer station and, for a fee, takes large and oversized amounts of brick, used lumber and other material that can't be put in residential trash carts, recycling carts or green waste cans. For information about those services, call the facility at 562-597-0608.
