There will be a hazardous waste collection at the Stafford Highway Garage on Route 19 on October 11.  All collections take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Saturdays.

The drop-off is free to town residents but the Town is billed $43 per participating vehicle, therefore, it is requested that residents bring as many hazardous materials as possible to the collection site, possibly car-pooling with neighbors.
