VERNON, CT — Vernon residents may dispose of hazardous waste on Saturday, April 6, from 8 a.m. 1 p.m. at the Capitol Region East Hazardous Waste facility, which is adjacent to the Manchester Landfill at 321 Olcott Street.
The drop-off is free to Vernon residents but the Town is billed approximately $45 per participating vehicle, therefore, it is requested that residents bring as many hazardous materials as possible to the collection site, possibly carpooling with neighbors.
The following items will not be accepted: alkaline batteries, ammunition, fireworks and explosives.
Motor oil and antifreeze are not accepted at HHW collection events, but they can be disposed of at the Vernon Transfer Station at no charge to residents.
For residents that have only paint to dispose of, latex or oil-based paints may be brought to the Sherwin Williams located at 100 Tolland Turnpike (Rt. 83). The store will accept up to 5 gallons per day free of charge providing cans are labelled, sealed, non-leaking and covered by the PaintCare program. There are certain specialty paints and stains not covered by PaintCare; these coatings ARE acceptable at the HHW collection events. To learn more about PaintCare, go to: https://www.paintcare.org/paintcare-states/connecticut/
For full listings of what materials are and are not acceptable at the CREOC Household Hazardous Waste collection events, visit the Town of Vernon's website at www.vernon-ct.gov.
