Regional Household Hazardous Waste Collection Slated In Simsbury

The event is for residents of Simsbury, Avon, Canton, Farmington, Granby, and Suffield.

SIMSBURY, CT — Folks cleaning out their homes and sheds this week have a place to safely dump their household hazardous waste.

That's because the Town of Simsbury on Saturday, June 7, is hosting a regional household hazardous waste collection at the Simsbury Public Works Facility on 66 Town Forest Road.

It will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. that day.
