Kern County’s got your back this August with five free, no-excuses household hazardous waste drop-offs across the county—perfect for dumping old paint, car batteries, pesticides, and more before they become environmental hazards. Events run from 9 AM to 1 PM at key locations including Kern Valley, Tehachapi, Shafter-Wasco, and Lebec, plus permanent drop-off sites in Bakersfield, Mojave, and Ridgecrest. Just remember: no more than 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip, keep containers sealed and labeled, and never mix waste types. Clear your home, protect your family—and the planet.
