Hazardous Materials CUPA Billing, Questions & Disputes
|
A part of the State's requirements are that CUPA's send a single consolidated bill to businesses which are regulated under one or more CUPA Programs. Therefore, all businesses subject to the Unified Program will be sent one annual bill for all the applicable Unified Program Elements in July. There will be no fee increases associated with the City's certification, although the fees will continue to be adjusted every year according to the Consumer Price Index.
The City is required to collect for the State two annual surcharges which are currently $24.00 and $25.00 respectively.
The City of Santa Monica CUPA administration for 09/10 is $507.00. The administrative fee applies to all CUPA facilities. PAYMENT OPTIONS

| The Household Hazardous Waste Center is celebrating 21 years of service – and to make it official, a mural project was unveiled along with a new modular office space made out of used shipping containers. Yes, that’s right, shipping containers. |
 |
The mural was designed by Virginia Avenue Park Teen Center artist in residence, Juan Carlos Munoz Hernandez and several Teen Center youth. The intent was to create a flexible art piece to illustrate what comes into the HHW Center from the community, and to create an educational opportunity for the teen painters. It was a success. But don’t take our word for it. Come down and visit the center for yourself.
2500 Michigan Ave. just East of the 10 Freeway at Cloverfield |
