Local rules that apply to appliances and refrigerators
- The Household Products Collection Center, 1320 E. University Drive, takes household hazardous waste from Tempe and Guadalupe residents on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bring a driver's license or current utility bill, carry items in cardboard boxes in the trunk or truck bed, and stay in your vehicle.
