About the Healthy Auburn Waters Campaign

Our goal is to protect Auburn waterways and improve the health of our environment.

The Healthy Auburn Waters campaign -- sponsored by the City of Auburn, CA –- is a public education program that teaches residents how to properly dispose of chemicals; pesticides; pharmaceutical waste; cooking fats, oils and grease; and motor oil and fuel. This web site provides information about the types of household hazardous waste (HHW), the reasons we are concerned about these wastes in the environment, and the correct methods of disposal.

In general, NEVER dump any of these items down the sink drain, into the toilet or down the storm drains. Go to the specific tab on this website to find more information about proper disposal.

This site is frequently updated with information about public outreach projects, HHW collection events, news and other helpful tips. Feel free to contact us with questions or suggestions.
