Sixty-five percent of fires reported at 26 waste facilities in California last year were caused by improper disposal of home batteries. Not only does this cost millions of dollars in damage to the trash trucks and collection facilities, it is also a health hazard to the community and environment.  ALL batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, are highly flammable. Improper battery disposal in the CMSD service area results in trash truck damage, service delays, and safety risks to both staff and residents. We urge customers to help keep each other safe and always properly dispose of hazardous waste materials, especially batteries. Dispose of your old batteries as you would any household hazardous waste (HHW). CMSD solid waste customers can request up to three FREE HHW pickups per year. To schedule an HHW pickup, use our online Service Requests feature or call CR&R Customer Service at (949) 646-4617 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you are not a CMSD customer, you can find local hazardous waste disposal resources by visiting: OCLandfills.com/hazardous     Learn more: www.cmsdca.gov/hhw   Sign up for updates Submit Accessibility Statement Privacy Policy Service Requests Site Map Address 290 Paularino Avenue Costa Mesa, CA 92626 View on Google Maps Hours Monday - Thursday 7:30am to 4:30pm Every other Friday 7:30am to 3:30pm ( by appointment only ) See Calendar for Friday closures Contact Us (949) 645-8400 [email protected] | Staff Directory Powered by revize , Government Website Experts   |   Login × Share this page Copy and paste this code into your website. <a href="http://www.cmsdca.gov/news_detail_T6_R145.php">Your Link Name</a> Share this page on your favorite Social network Facebook Twitter Reddit Close Close Read More Finance Skip to main content Home Who We Are About Us General Manager's Message History Your Services Awards Departments Administration Clerk Community Outreach Engineering Finance Human Resources Trash & Recycling Sewer Doing Business With Us Bid Opportunities Insurance Requirements Employment Career Opportunities Interest Card Job Descriptions & Salaries Promotional Opportunities Salary Schedules Service Area Map Staff Directory Strategic Plan Transparency District FAQs Governance Board of Directors Agendas, Minutes, & Videos Elections Ethics Meeting Schedule Citizens Advisory Committee Agendas, Minutes, & Videos Meeting Schedule Policies Records Trash & Recycling Weekly Collection 3 Cart System Holiday Schedule Organics Recycling Program Roll Out Service SB 1383 Solid Waste Contract Education Alkaline Battery Recycling Contest Sustainability Star Program Rates Recycling Resources Collection Center List Disposal Guide Donation & Thrift Stores OC Household Hazardous Waste Collection Centers Orange Coast College Recycling Center Recycle Coach Report Missed Pickups Solid Waste Rate Study Special Collection Programs American Flag Disposal Christmas Tree Collection Household Hazardous Waste Collection Large Item Collection Medication Disposal Sharps & Needles Disposal Trash & Recycling FAQs Sewer AI Manhole Management As-Builts & Atlas Fats, Oils, & Grease (FOG) Business FOG Prevention Residential FOG Prevention FOG Control Program Manual FOG FAQs Hazard Mitigation Permits Make A Payment Pump Station Artwork Rates Rebates Sewer Inspection Rebate Program Robin Hamers Yard Sewer Rate Study Sewer System Information Emergency Preparedness Plans & Specifications Sewer Map Sewer Master Plan Sewer System Management Plan Sewer FAQs News & Publications Bid Opportunities Calendar Customer Survey Events Newsletters Press Releases Year End Reports Contact Us Applications & Forms Contact Info Make An Appointment Report Missed Pickups Service Requests Stay Informed Translate Afrikaans Albanian Arabic Armenian Azerbaijani Basque Belarusian Bengali Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Croatian Czech Danish Dutch English Esperanto Estonian Filipino Finnish French Galician Georgian German Greek Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Khmer Korean Lao Latin Latvian Lithuanian Macedonian Malay Maltese Maori Marathi Mongolian Nepali Norwegian Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Romanian Russian Serbian Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Swahili Swedish Tamil Telugu Thai Turkish Ukrainian Urdu Vietnamese Welsh Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Search Costa Mesa Sanitary District Visit our Facebook Visit our Twitter Visit our Instagram Visit our YouTube Visit our LinkedIn Finance Budget Financial Statements Make A Payment Rates Home Who We Are Departments Finance Finance The Costa Mesa Sanitary District considers fiduciary responsibility to be a core value and strives to uphold the highest quality service at fair and competitive rates.

The change in collection approach supports the District’s compliance with California’s Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), which aims to reduce the emission of short-lived climate pollutants. In the videos, viewers learn more about the transition from a two-cart to three-cart system, what to expect, changes in sorting approach and how this helps the community. The first video briefly explains SB 1383 and the impacts upon CMSD’s collection approach. In addition to meeting SB 1383 requirements, the new three-cart system reduces contamination levels and allows more materials to be recycled. By separating organics and recyclables from regular trash, customers can help repurpose those materials and create a healthier environment. The second video details what customers can expect in the upcoming transition. While the Organics Cart will remain the same, customers will receive a new Recycling Cart with a blue lid and the current Mixed Waste Cart will be relabeled as a trash cart.  In the third video, customers learn how to sort materials into the three carts. The black Trash Cart is used for landfill materials, while the blue Recycling Cart is used for items like clean paper, glass, aluminum and plastic. The green Organics Cart is used for food scraps and yard waste. The fourth video wraps up the series with a focus on the benefits of sorting waste and how customers can partner with CMSD in this process.  By understanding and participating in the new collection system, customers can create a brighter future for the Costa Mesa community and advance the statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants.
