Can Protect Water Quality
Did you know that you can help protect Santee's water quality by using water more efficiently and implementing pollution prevention practices at home? By implementing best management practices (BMPs), such as covering trash bins to prevent rain contact and runoff, adjusting sprinklers to eliminate over-irrigation, sweeping patios, driveways, and sidewalks, and picking up after pets, we can all contribute to protecting water quality.

Need to Dispose Hazardous Materials and Waste?
Hazardous Materials include batteries, common household cleaners, paints, pesticides, vehicle fluids, and pool chemicals. Please DO NOT dispose of these items in your regular trash.

This facility, Waste Management in El Cajon, is open the second and fourth Saturdays by appointment only. Residents must call Waste Management at 619-596-5100 for an appointment and directions.
