Each year, the Metropolitan District (MDC) provides its customers with an environmentally-friendly initiative, the Household Hazardous Waste Collection (HazWaste) program. The 2025 HazWaste Program is scheduled to begin on Saturday, April 26 in Newington.
The MDC collects hazardous waste and disposes of it through safe, environmentally responsible practices which in turn protects the health of our communities and the environment.
The MDC will hold ten collection dates in 2025 and residents of any participating towns can partake in any collection date.
Participating towns for 2025 include: Bloomfield, East Granby, East Hartford, Hartford, Newington, Rocky Hill, West Hartford, Wethersfield, Windsor and Windsor Locks. See schedule for dates, times and locations.
For more information about the HazWaste program, including a downloadable information packet that lists eligibility requirements, types of materials accepted and more, visit https://themdc.org/what-wedo/environment-health-safety/household-hazardous-waste-collection or call the HazWaste hotline at (860) 278-3809.
