Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day Coming Up

Be sure to register by May 9.

Wayland holds its annual Household Hazardous Waste Day on Saturday, May 10. 

Registration is required by May 9 to take part in the waste day by picking up forms in the Wayland Town Building, 41 Cochituate Rd., in the lobby. The forms are also available at the Senior Center and the library. 

Mercury products will be accepted for collection, which takes place at the Wayland Transfer Station and Recycling Center. 

"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."

Here's more information on the event, and products you can turn in.
