What is household hazardous waste?
Household hazardous waste is any product that is classified as toxic (poisonous), corrosive, flammable or reactive (explosive). Such products can be found in homes, garages, or workshops. When improperly disposed of, it can poison people and animals, and it can pollute homes and the natural environment. Many of these can be identified by reading labels. Look for the words: poison,corrosive, flammable, caution, danger, or warning.
Cost:
Will depend on quantity of waste delivered. Each town will provide subsidies on a first come first serve basis. Pre-registration is recommended. In previous years, costs have ranged between $10 and $20 per 5 gallons of waste. For more information please call your Town Office.
