Special Wastes

Overview

Special Wastes

Universal Waste

Some universal waste can be handled by PSDS and some types may be disposed of at the Palm Springs Permanent HHW facility. Visit the HHW web site for details.

Tires

Tires are no longer accepted at landfills. Palm Springs Disposal will collect a limited amount of tires from your residence at no charge (considered a bulky waste). Only un-mounted tires can be collected. PSDS also provides a Citywide Clean-up twice a year where tires are accepted for recycling.

Animal Waste

Locations that produce a large volume of animal waste such as ranches or dog training facilities require additional disposal services. Due to the heavy weight of this material, and the special handling that is required, additional charges are incurred. Please contact our offices at 327-1351 to find out more.

Medical Sharps / Needles

It's illegal to dispose of in trash cans, home recycling containers or green waste containers. State law requires home-generated sharps to be placed in approved containers for transport and disposal. For information visit these Riverside County links.
