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

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.
