Northampton's 2022 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event takes place on Saturday, July 16th. Please scroll down for alternate disposal options
The City of Northampton Department of Public Works organizes an annual collection event for normal types of household hazardous waste. Residents of Florence, Leeds and Northampton may bring specific types of material (pdf) from their homes to this event, which is typically held on the third Saturday in May. Select Northampton small businesses may also participate with prior arrangement (see below).
Other HHW Disposal Alternatives
Two alternative options exist for those unable to attend (or wait for) the City’s next annual hazardous household waste collection.
1) Participate in a neighboring community’s HHW event
Northampton residents willing to pay the full disposal cost of their material may participate in collection events held in specific neighboring communities (pdf). To register or learn more about the participation cost, please direct inquiry to dpwinfo@northamptonma.gov or call 413-587-1570.
2) Bring your material to a commercial HHW collection site
