Household Hazardous Waste

Community Waste Disposal provides the Door Side Collection program for safe, easy and responsible disposal of approved hazardous waste and electronics. This service is provided up to once a month, and is included in your regular monthly trash and recycling charge. View the Collection Schedule on the CWD website here.

Items accepted via the HHW & Used Electronics Door Side Collection program include poison, solvent, oil-based and latex paint, aerosols, used motor oil, household and auto batteries, fluorescent tubes, and televisions. Household batteries may also be dropped into the Battery Buckets located at the Municipal Complex and the Public Works building.

  4. Place your HHW at your doorstep, where CWD will pick it up.
Bags must be placed near your entrance door, garage, or another area IN FRONT OF YOUR HOME. Do NOT place HHW curbside. Please ensure your HHW is visible from the street.

  • Do not overfill the bag.
