First Regional Home HazWaste Disposal Event Is Saturday In Newington

Metropolitan District

NEWINGTON, CT — Now is the perfect time to purge household hazardous waste, with a regional collection program slated to start this Saturday, April 26, in Newington.

Each year, the Metropolitan District (MDC) provides customers with an environmentally friendly initiative, the Household Hazardous Waste Collection (HazWaste) program.

The 2025 HazWaste Program is scheduled to begin on Saturday, April 26, in Newington at the Newington Town Garage, 281 Milk Lane (off Fenn Road).

It will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., which is the same time for nine other collection events in several participating towns through 2025.

Those participating towns are Bloomfield, East Granby, East Hartford, Hartford, Newington, Rocky Hill, West Hartford, Wethersfield, Windsor, and Windsor Locks.

Residents of any participating towns can partake in any collection date.

The MDC collects hazardous waste and disposes of it through safe, environmentally sound methods, according to the MDC.

That, the MDC said, "protects the health of our communities and the environment."
