North Kingstown Eco-Depot Collection

Saturday, October 24th at the North Kingston DPW, 2050 Davisville Road

This Eco-Depot collection provides Rhode Island residents with a safe, convenient way to dispose of household hazardous waste. Household hazardous waste is any product labeled “poison”, or “hazardous”, including those with a skull and crossbones on the packaging. These products must be disposed of carefully, and cannot be disposed with common trash or recycling. Examples of this type of waste include leftover paints, pool chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, cleaning products, nail polish remover and propane tanks, among others.

To rid your home of these dangerous materials, make an appointment for this free, local collection event offered by Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation (RIRRC) by visiting www.ecodepotri.org, or calling (401) 942-1430 x241.

To learn more about the Eco-Depot program and the types of waste accepted, or to view the complete Eco-Depot collection calendar, visit www.ecodepotri.org.
