Hazardous Waste Collection Coming to Colton
San Bernardino County officials have confirmed a household hazardous waste collection event scheduled for Saturday, February 14, in Colton.

City Services Operating on Regular Schedule
City Hall departments, including the City Clerk and Community Development offices, are operating under normal weekday hours heading into the weekend. No special closures or emergency notices were posted by the city as of Friday afternoon.
Residents planning to visit City Hall or handle permits, records, or payments are encouraged to check department hours in advance, especially with many offices closed on Fridays.
Police and Fire Departments Share Community Reminders
Local police and fire officials continue to promote community programs, including online reporting tools and emergency preparedness training. Residents are reminded that non-emergency police reports can be filed online, helping reduce wait times and free up officers for higher-priority calls.
The fire department is also highlighting its community emergency response training opportunities, which are offered periodically throughout the year and focus on disaster readiness.
Looking Ahead
With several community-focused events coming up later this month, Colton remains in a steady rhythm as February gets underway. More updates are expected next week as city meetings and county programs resume after the weekend.
