The San Benito County Integrated Waste Management Regional Agency will host a free Recycle Day event May 30 for residents to safely dispose of household hazardous waste, tires, mattresses and electronic waste.
The event will take place 9am-1pm Sheriff’s Department and Resource Management Agency parking lot, 2301 Technology Parkway in Hollister.
