Ventura Community Cleanup and Recycling Event 2020
Why wait until spring to clear out the extra stuff in your Ventura home? Start now. Go through closets, cupboards, sheds, and any other nook and cranny to find things you seldom or never use anymore. Then, bring them to the Ventura Community Cleanup and Recycling Event 2020 this Saturday for proper disposal.
What: Ventura Community Cleanup and Recycling Event 2020
Where: Fire Training Facility (765 S Seaward Ave)
When: Saturday, January 25th, 9 am to 12 pm
Contact: City of Ventura (805) 652-4526 or via email
Ventura Community Cleanup and Recycling Event 2020
Organizers allow no more than five boxes (similar in size to filing boxes) of items for each vehicle that shows up to the event on Saturday. They accept old household furniture, appliances, clothes, metal, and even tires. Bring in your Christmas trees (minus decorations, lights, and stand), any green waste, and wood scraps. The also accept electronic waste like computer screens, towers, laptops, printers, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, cameras, and cell phones. However, hazardous waste (aerosol cans, motor oil, any auto fluids, pesticides, pool chemicals, furniture polish, varnishes or fluorescent light bulbs) will be refused.
Only Ventura residents may participate in this community cleanup and recycling event. Proof of residency includes a photo ID or a utility bill with your current address on it. Goodwill hauls off all gently used items for their stores. The rest ends up in their proper disposal facilities.
Ventura Shred Event
Need to get rid of old financial documents or other personal papers? The IRS only goes back three years for audits. So, you don’t need to save corroborating financial documents for more than that. Worried about how to dispose of them safely? Avoid identity theft by securely shredding them at the Ventura Shred Event on Saturday, January 25th at well. This takes place from 9 am to 12 pm at the City of Ventura Maintenance Yard located at 336 Sanjon Rd.
Just like the community cleanup and recycling event, anyone dropping off papers for the shredding event must show proof of residency. Otherwise, they might get turned away.

Water Efficiency Survey for Ventura Residents
We hope you enjoyed the holidays with your loved ones. Now that the new year is officially underway, time to take a look at your water usage. New water rationing bills were passed last year. Beginning by the end of June 2022, the State Water Board must adopt standards put in place by the bills to limit indoor and outdoor water use in California homes. Their goal? To lower the average household water usage from its current 65+ gallons per person to 55 by 2022, 52.5 in 2025, and, eventually, down to 50 gallons per person in 2030. To do so, they need your help to lower your usage. Your first step should be performing a Water Efficiency Survey.
Water Efficiency Survey for Ventura Residents
Ventura Water offers free efficiency surveys for all Ventura residents. To do so, simply call (805) 667-6500 to set up an appointment or fill out an online request form here. Then, they send out a Water Conversation Specialist to your house. During their one hour assessment, they take a look at your water bill, assess your usage, and discuss which free water conservation devices you might benefit from using. They also suggest ways to reduce your water usage in the future.
Rebates and Incentives to Lower Water Usage
Funds for the instant hot water recirculating system rebate in Ventura have already been used up. However, several other programs allow rebates for installing systems or devices that reduce your household’s water usage. Replace your old washing machine with a high-efficiency one and receive a $150 rebate. Change out your old toilet for an ultra-high efficiency model (1.1 gallons per flush) and receive a $100 rebate. Ventura Water offers free high-efficiency nozzles for your sprinklers as well as a free smart irrigation controller. Want to replace your water-guzzling lawn with a “water-wise landscape” using drought-resistant plants? You might be eligible for $2 per square foot in rebates. To find out more about these, please visit the City of Ventura’s Rebates and Incentives webpage.
