Household Hazardous Waste Day November 17

The Wayland Board of Health is pre-registering Wayland residents for its next Household Hazardous Waste collection day to be held on Saturday, November 17, 2018. The collection location will be located 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 11am. The pre-registration slots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Forms are available online, or 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).

Completed forms must be submitted to the Board of Health office by Friday, November 16th 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.
