Hazardous Waste Disposal Day for Small Businesses

On Wednesday, August 15th, 2012, there will be a small business hazardous waste collection event located at 60 Harwell Avenue in Lexington, MA at the Minuteman Regional Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility (http://www.lexingtonma.gov/dpw/hartwell.cfm). This event is dedicated to help small businesses such as painters, landscapers, swimming pool service providers, printers, dentists and many others, unload hazardous waste that cannot be disposed of in the normal rubbish or garbage. Hazardous waste is anything considered ignitable, corrosive, toxic or reactive - examples include paint related material, pool chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, batteries, light bulbs, cylinders, mercury contained in manufactured articles or debris and many others. Small businesses that participate in this event will save on labor and transportation cost and will also receive a discounted waste disposal rate.  Pre-registration is required to participate in this event.  To register, please contact Seth Dawber from Clean Harbors Environmental Services, INC at 781-380-7121 or dawber.seth@cleanharbors.com.   When you pre-register, you will be provided with an estimate for the cost of the waste disposal and you will also be assigned an appointment time to arrive at 60 Hartwell Avenue.  If you have any questions or would like to know more information about the event, please contact Gerard Cody, Lexington Health Director at 781-862-0500 x237 or gcody@lexingtonma.gov.
