Household Products Collection CenterSome products (e.g., light bulbs, batteries, electronics and appliances, household cleaners, automotive products and pesticides) shouldn't be put in garbage or recycling containers because they can be hazardous to the environment and public health. Guadalupe residents can dispose of these items safely at Tempe's Household Products Collection Center (HPCC).

The HPCC is open for normal operation from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  HPCC is closed on Zero Waste Days (ZWD), City-observed holidays and weekends following City-observed holidays.

Location:  1320 E. University Drive on the Northeast corner of University Drive and Dorsey Lane directly in front of the Tempe Fire Training Center. 

DROP-OFF PROCEDURES

  • Have your ID ready, with your driver’s license or a printout of a current Tempe or Guadalupe utility bill.
  • Store waste in the rear-most part of the vehicle.
  • Truck bed, trunk, rear hatch only.
  • Items will not be accepted from the front or back seat of your vehicle.
  • Transport items in cardboard boxes.
  • No plastic bags will be accepted.
  • Cardboard boxes will not be returned.
  • Stay in your vehicle.
  • Tempe HPCC Staff will unload your items.

HPCC serves the residents of Tempe and Guadalupe and is over 20 years old.  Tempe's HPCC was the first permanent facility built in Maricopa County specifically for the removal and proper disposal of household hazardous waste (HHW). This sustainable program helps protect the environment by eliminating items from being poured into the wastewater collection system or storm drains and thrown into the municipal solid waste stream, which uses up more landfill space.
