Residents can help keep the environment clear of toxic chemicals by bringing households hazardous waste items to special collections. Full list of acceptable materials

There is no direct fee for residents, however the Town is charged per carload.

Please keep all chemicals in their original packaging for the health and safety of you and the Clean Harbors staff.

Events are expected to be crowded. There are no bathrooms on the site and it will be difficult to leave once you are in line. If you have a very small amount of HHW and can wait, you may want to wait and attend a future event.

Thank you for your patience as systems and staff adjust their operations to be able to offer this vital service.
