Milford Hazardous Waste Disposal Day: Give Us Your Worst
Bring all your unwanted gasoline, pool chemicals and lighter fluid for this disposal event.
MILFORD, MA — Milford will host a hazardous waste disposal event in early November seeking all the most noxious chemicals from around your home.
The Nov. 4 event will run 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (rain or shine) at a new location in 2023: the Milford Compost Facility along Fiske Mill Road. The event typically takes place at the highway department building along Front Street.
The event is free for residents with proof, but is not open to commercial businesses, according to the health department.
