Simi Valley Recycling Center

Simi Valley residents have access to several specialized recycling resources, from cash-back centers for bottles to free landfill days and hazardous waste collection.

1. CRV & Scrap Metal (Cash for Recyclables)

If you are looking to get cash for your California Refund Value (CRV) containers or sell scrap metal, these are the primary local centers.

Recycling Spot  2660 Park Center Dr  Fri–Wed: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM  Located at Costco parking lot (across from Tire Center).

Simi Valley Landfill  2801 N Madera Rd  Mon–Sat: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM  Accepts non-hazardous recyclables and bulky items.

P&T Metals 2213 Tyler Ave (Nearby)  Mon–Fri: 8:00 AM – 4:45 PM  High-volume industrial and residential scrap metal.

2. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)

Simi Valley operates a highly structured HHW program because these items are illegal to put in regular trash.

• Drop-Off Events: Held on the third Saturday of every other month (January, March, May, July, September, November).

• Appointment Required: You must call (805) 583-6321 or book online.  Appointments fill up fast, usually by the Thursday before the event.

• Paint & Batteries: You don't have to wait for an event. Dunn Edwards (50 W. Easy St) and Sherwin Williams (3200 E. Los Angeles Ave) accept paint year-round. Batteries can be dropped at the Simi Valley Public Library.

3. Electronics & Shredding (E-Waste)

Electronics contain heavy metals and cannot go in the blue bin.

• Waste Management (G.I. Industries): Residents can drop off e-waste for free at 195 W. Los Angeles Ave (Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM).

• CITY-E-Waste: Located at 1109 Tivoli Lane (behind the Ford dealership). They offer free local pickups for items under 75 lbs.

• Chamber of Commerce Events: The Simi Valley Chamber hosts periodic shredding and e-waste events at 40 W. Cochran St. (usually the 2nd Friday for shredding).

4. Curbside & "Free Landfill Days"

The City has an exclusive contract with Waste Management (G.I. Industries) for residential service.

• Free Landfill Days (2026): Simi Valley residents can drop off up to two loads for free on the following Sundays (10 AM – 4 PM): March 15, May 17, July 19, and October 18. Bring a driver's license or utility bill for proof of residency.

• Bulky Item Pickup: Each residential household is typically eligible for two free bulky item pickups per year.  Call (805) 522-9400 to schedule.

• Organic Waste (Green Bin): Per California law SB 1383, all food scraps (meat, bones, dairy, bread) should now be placed in your green bin along with yard waste.
