Mission Viejo residents can dispose of sharps waste and unwanted medications in the secure drop boxes inside the lobby at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior, 24932 Veterans Way.

The City and Waste Management are teaming up to host a free composting workshop at 10 am on Saturday, September 25 in the Kershaw Garden at Mission Viejo City Hall.

Residents can learn how to turn their yard and food waste into organic fertilizer through traditional composting or vermi-composting. Compost and vermi-composting containers will be available for Mission Viejo residents to purchase or order at a significant discount.

The City is partnering with Waste Management to host a free drive-through E-Waste & Household Hazardous Waste Collection on Saturday, November 13 from 9 to 11 am in the City Hall parking lot. This event will provide residents with a free, safe and convenient way to properly dispose of hazardous items.

On Monday, July 19, the City’s contractor - GMC Engineering - will begin work on the Jeronimo Road and Marguerite Parkway intersection. Dual-left turn lanes from both northbound and southbound Marguerite Parkway onto Jeronimo Road will be constructed.

During construction, motorists may experience some delays due to the construction work and modified traffic signal operations. 

Construction is expected to last 60 days, so finding an alternate route is recommended.

As part of the I-5 South County Improvements Project, the northbound La Paz Road straight on-ramp will be closed for 30 hours beginning at 10 pm on Friday, July 9.

The closure will allow crews to complete paving operations and shift traffic onto the new lane of the on-ramp.  

Detours will be in place July 9-11. 

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and Caltrans are working together on the San Diego Freeway (I-5) Widening project from SR-73 to El Toro Road.
