The Wayland Board of Health is pre-registering Wayland residents for its next Household Hazardous Waste collection day to be held on Saturday, October 22, 2016.

The collection location will be at the New DPW Garage at 66 River Road.

Residents interested in disposing of household hazardous waste must complete a pre-registration form on which they may choose a half-hour slot between 9 am and 11a.m.. The pre-registration slots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Forms are available in the Board of Health office, Wayland Town Building lobby, Council on Aging at Town Hall (all at 41 Cochituate Road), Wayland Public Library (5 Concord Way), the Wayland Transfer Station & Recycling Center (484 Boston Post Road) and on-line:

Completed forms must be submitted to the Board of Health office by Friday, October 21st at noon. Additional information regarding the location of the collection and the types of household hazardous waste that will or will not be collected is also listed on the registration form. In its announcement, the Board cited the need to minimize the generation of household hazardous waste by encouraging homeowners to buy only the quantities of paint, solvents, cleaners, pool supplies, pesticides and other hazardous materials that are needed, to utilize non-hazardous materials (if possible) instead of hazardous materials, to share leftover supplies with neighbors or others who might use them, and to donate paint and other useful materials to organizations that might be able to use them.

Please be aware of additional hazardous waste recycling events open to Town of Wayland residents on a fee-basis, some of which are listed below (you will be asked to show identification confirming you are a Wayland resident). You will also be asked for payment at the event based on the amount of material you bring (please bring a check to pay). Pricing is based on the host town’s contract and is determined by the contractor. Example: some contractors charge $35 / first 12 gallons (liquid or dry equivalent) or $60 for 12 – 25 gallons. Future local events:

• NEEDHAM: October 15 from 8-12 @ 470 Dedham Avenue, Needham
• SUDBURY: November 5 from 9-1 @ DPW Facility, 275 Old Lancaster Road, Sudbury
