Dispose of Hazardous Chemicals at Collection Saturday
Throw out your hazardous waste, such as oil-based paints, solvents and pesticides, at the West Elementary School this Saturday.
While you can't toss out your explosives or latex paint, this Saturday's Household Hazardous Waste Collection can help you throw out a variety of those hazardous chemicals collecting dust in the garage.
The Household Hazardous Waste Collection is scheduled to take place at the West Elementary School this Saturday, May 21, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. The town asks that people begin arriving at 9 a.m.
"Residents are reminded that waiting lines WILL NOT be allowed to form early," read an announcement on the town's website. Find more info here.
