Multi-Town Household Hazardous Waste Collection

Residents of six towns can bring household hazardous waste to Farmington High School on Saturday, April 25, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (farmington-ct.org) The collection is open to people who live in Avon, Canton, Farmington, Granby, Simsbury, and Suffield, and the site is at 10 Monteith Drive in Farmington. (farmington-ct.org) Town notices say residents should bring proof of residency and stay in their vehicles while attendants direct unloading. Quantities are limited to reasonable household volumes. (granby-ct.gov) The program is for materials that should not go into regular trash or a transfer station, including pesticides, paints, cleaning chemicals and antifreeze. Avon’s public notice says the goal is to keep those materials out of landfills. (avonct.gov) Farmington is the first stop in a three-date 2026 regional schedule. The same six towns also plan collections on June 13 and October 10 at the Simsbury Public Works Facility, 66 Town Forest Road. (simsbury-ct.gov) Farmington’s Highway and Grounds department says the towns are continuing a shared collection system rather than running separate events. Patch reported the same regional partnership operated in earlier years, with Farmington hosting one of the spring dates in 2024 and 2025. (farmington-ct.org, patch.com) That regional setup gives residents multiple chances to dispose of old chemicals, oil-based products and other hazardous items without waiting for a single annual drop-off in their own town. Farmington’s 2026 page lists the dates together with electronics recycling and shredding information under the same public works program. (farmington-ct.org) For this weekend, the basic instructions are simple: bring household-only material, bring identification, and arrive at Farmington High School during the five-hour window on April 25.
