Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)

---

Our next HHW collection is scheduled for Tuesday, May 25, 2021, 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. at the Springfield Transfer Station.

If you need to properly dispose of HHW before then, "The Rutland County Solid Waste District has a permanent hazardous waste collection facility that is generally open year-round. Visit their website or call 802-775-7209
for more information."

If you just have paint to recycle, and the cans are labeled and not leaking, you can bring them to your local participating retailer. Visit https://www.paintcare.org/paintcare-states/vermont/#/everyone for the closest location.

The District has sponsored events each year for the collection and safe disposal of household hazardous wastes. Residents and businesses from all member towns may participate. Businesses will be charged a fee and must pre-register. No pre-registration required for residents.
