From paints and pesticides to gasoline and fluorescent light bulbs, there are many items in a modern household that shouldn’t go in the trash or down the drain. That’s why OCRRA has set up a drop-off program specifically for hazardous wastes. Just make an appointment ahead of time! You'll receive instructions on how to prepare your items and where to bring them (Environmental Products and Service of Vermont) when you get your appointment confirmation email. Have a question about an item not listed below? Send us an email.
The costs associated with this program are underwritten by OCRRA and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.
