The City is partnering with Waste Management to host a free drive-through E-Waste & Household Hazardous Waste Collection from 9-11 am Saturday, November 2 in the City Hall parking lot, 200 Civic Center. This event gives residents a free, safe and convenient way to properly dispose of hazardous items.

Proof of residency is required with a valid identification card, and residents must remain in their vehicles. No business waste or walk-ups are allowed. There is a limit of 125 pounds or 15 gallons per vehicle, and each container must not exceed 5 gallons.

The intersection of Via Pimiento and Los Alisos Boulevard will be closed starting Monday, September 30 through mid-February so the Metropolitan Water District can perform emergency repairs to a large diameter water pipeline located in the street on Via Pimiento. 

Mission Viejo residents and businesses can destroy their sensitive documents during the free drive-through Document Shredding event on Saturday, October 5.

Hosted by Waste Management and the City, the event is from 9 to 11 am (or until truck capacity is reached) in the Mission Viejo City Hall parking lot at 200 Civic Center.

The City and Waste Management are teaming up to host a free composting workshop at 10 am on Saturday, September 28 in The Kershaw Garden at Mission Viejo Civic Center.

Composting is a resourceful way to recycle the food scraps and yard trim folks generate at home and manage their waste more sustainably. 

The City has been awarded $560,000 from the United States Department of Transportation through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program.

The funds will be used to update and expand the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan developed by the City in 2012. The SRTS Plan will identify recommendations to enhance safety for access to all public schools within the City of Mission Viejo.

In celebration of Earth Day, the City's trash hauler - Waste Management of Orange County - and green waste processor - Tierra Verde Industries - will offer free compost for Mission Viejo residents at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center on Saturday, April 27 at 9 am.

Proof of Mission Viejo residency is required. Quantities are limited. Each person will be allotted up to 36 gallons while supplies last. Residents should bring a shovel and bag (or container) to fill. 

The City of Mission Viejo invites qualified and experienced firms to submit proposals for providing environmental analyses as required by the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") for the City's "Site 3" affordable housing opportunity site.
