Household Hazardous Waste Collection

April 17 Household Hazardous Waste and Paint Collection Event
The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG) is hosting Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and Paint Collection Day on Saturday, April 17, 2021. This is the first event currently scheduled in 2021.
The event goes from 8:00 am to 2 pm at Naugatuck Events Center, 6 Rubber Avenue in Naugatuck.
NVCOG’s HHW events serve the towns of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Bethlehem, Cheshire, Derby, Middlebury, Naugatuck, Oxford, Prospect, Seymour, Southbury, Thomaston, Waterbury, Watertown, Wolcott, and Woodbury.
For future updates on this program, visit NVCOG’s HHW webpage as well as information on how to properly dispose of common household items. Also look for postings on NVCOG’s Facebook and Twitter page, as well as local and municipal websites for updates.
Household hazardous wastes are any wastes produced in the home that are poisonous, flammable, reactive, or corrosive. These wastes are harmful to human health and the environment if not disposed of properly. The goal of the program is to keep potentially hazardous waste out of local landfills and sewers, providing extra protection for wetlands and waterways.
Residents may now bring latex (water-based) paint to the collection event. While not considered hazardous waste, the latex paint is also accepted as part of the statewide paint product stewardship program.
