Im moving and I need to get rid of my household hazardous waste. What should I do?
Most communities in Connecticut offer at least one opportunity a year to their residents to dispose of hazardous items that they have in their home. These collections usually take place in the spring or fall. Some communities share the cost of providing a permanent site that offers weekly collection in the spring and fall to residents of participating towns. Because the material is hazardous, a licensed contractor must be hired to collect and dispose of this material properly. This is expensive, so municipalities cannot provide unlimited opportunities for collection. Call your town hall, or check its web site to find out the next available opportunity to properly dispose of this material in your area. Dont wait until a few days before you move as there may not be service available at that time.
