The town’s collection day is open to residents at no charge with proof of residency. Plymouth small businesses can also attend and pay $59 per 25 gallons of liquid waste. However, they must register before the event.

Accepted items include adhesives, antifreeze, automotive fluids, cleaners, driveway sealer, flammable liquids and more. A full list of accepted items can be found online.

All items must be placed in cardboard boxes and stored in the trunk, truck bed or rear of the vehicle.
