As part of the Borough’s residential waste contract with Waste Management, residents have access to a year-round, at-your-door Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and electronics collection program at no additional cost.

Instead of waiting for special drop-off events, this program allows residents to safely dispose of qualifying hazardous materials directly from their homes.

How the Program Works

  1. Schedule a Collection

  2. Receive a Collection Kit

    • Waste Management will mail you a kit with instructions and materials to safely package items.

  3. Home Pickup

    • On the scheduled date, a trained technician will collect and properly handle the materials for recycling or disposal.

  4. More Items Later?

    • The service is available year-round. Residents may schedule additional collections as needed.

Items Commonly Accepted

  • Household chemicals and cleaners

  • Automotive fluids (oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, etc.)

  • Paints, stains, and solvents

  • Pool and garden chemicals

  • Pesticides and herbicides

  • Batteries

  • Electronics, including:

    • Televisions (limited quantities)

    • Computer systems and peripherals

    • Electronics with circuit boards

(Some items must be placed inside the provided kit; others are collected outside the kit. Quantities and restrictions apply.)

Important Notes

  • Items must be properly labeled and not leaking

  • Medical waste, explosives, ammunition, tires, and commercial waste are not accepted

  • Latex paint is not hazardous and may be reused or donated

This program helps protect public health, groundwater, and the environment while giving residents a convenient, safe disposal option.
