One person’s junk is another person’s treasure! When that’s the case, there are lots of opportunities for re-use! For items that are re-saleable, consider donating to our thrift shop! We have drop off boxes outside the thrift shop in El Segundo; on Onizuka in Pacific Heights and in front of the Tierra Vista sales office on Fort MacArthur.
Another option is donating your items to our Airman’s Attic on Fort MacArthur during hours of operation: Mondays 10 a.m. to noon and Wednesdays and Fridays from 5 to 7 p.m.
If you’re ready to just trash your junk…for Tierra Vista residents…bulk trash removal is the last Thursday of the month. If you can’t wait until then, call Tierra Vista’s sale office to arrange a drop off at their corporate dumpster.
If you have hazardous or recycle materials such as solvents, automotive parts, flammables, computer parts or other electronics, there are ‘safe centers’ in the Los Angeles areas. If you’re a San Pedro resident, the closest facility is on Gaffey Street and is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Click on the link for addresses to nearest locations: http://lacitysan.org/solid_resources/special/hhw/safe_centers/index.htm

I love that there are industrial waste management services that can take care of all of my garbage. When it comes to older pieces and used furniture, I like to donate to places like Salvation Army. You can really help a lot of people out by donating your used things.
