The fall 2025 Environmental Collection and Recycling (E-CARE) event is happening Saturday, Nov. 8, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine, at 1425 N. Quincy St. This free, biannual event allows Arlington residents to safely dispose of household hazardous materials (HHMs) and old electronics. Small metal items will also be accepted.

New for Fall 2025 E-CARE: Arlington County’s Solid Waste Bureau is accepting gently used Halloween costumes for future costume swap events. Learn more.

Returning for Fall 2025 E-CARE: Bicycles and bike parts will be accepted as donations by Bikes for the World. Bike donations will be taken before unloading HHMs, e-waste and small metal items. Please pack your vehicle accordingly.

Find a list of accepted and unaccepted materials as you prepare for E-CARE. Note: Business and commercial wastes will not be accepted.

There is a fee only for cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions ($20) and CRT computer monitors ($15). All other screen and monitor drop-offs are free. Cash must be exact change. Checks should be made payable to “Arlington County Treasurer.”

Before coming to E-CARE, talk to your neighbors. Combine items and save trips to the collection site. For Arlington residents only, so bring ID.

Household hazardous materials (HHM) drop-off is available year-round (by appointment only, except on Saturdays) at the County's HHM Facility at 530 31st St. S., Water Pollution Control Plant Gate 3.
