October Is Last Month This Year To Drop Off Household Haz-Waste
Found in the home/garage/yard, waste like aerosols, batteries, pesticides, paint, and more, are accepted at Haz-Waste Central in New Haven.
BRANFORD, CT — Checking in with Sharon Heslin, the town's recycling administrative assistant, we're reminded that October is the last month —until late spring 2022 — for folks to dispose of household chemical waste.
Household hazardous waste can be brought to HazWaste Central at the Regional Water Authority facility, 90 Sargent Drive in New Haven.
Household hazardous waste comes from everyday products used in the home, garage, yard or garden. HazWaste Central helps area residents in member towns protect water quality by safely disposing of these household wastes.
