BURLINGTON – Eighteen hazardous household waste disposal drop off locations have been set up to help residents of flood-affected towns properly dispose of waste that can be hazardous to health and the environment.
Household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable or reactive ingredients are considered to be household hazardous waste. Local transfer stations are working in coordination with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to collect household hazardous waste.
Examples of waste that cannot be disposed of with regular garbage or rubbish bins and will be accepted at these drop off locations:
- Products, such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides that contain potentially hazardous ingredients
- Car batteries & Rechargeable Batteries
- Hazardous Waste
- Mercury products – fluorescent bulbs, thermostats, thermometers
- Oil, Brake Cleaner, other toxic car products
- Oil Based Pain, Stain, Varnish, Paint Thinner/Stripper
- Propane cylinders, other gas cylinders
- Tires
NOTE: Electronic waste should be brought to an approved facility. Go to Vermont’s E-Cycle locations on the Agency for Natural Resources website for details: www.anr.state.vt.us/dec/e-waste/index.htm
