Responsible disposal of hazardous household waste doesn’t come cheap. Fortunately residents of Madison have already paid the bill to dispose of the hazardous waste in their homes. Please remember that this service is seasonal and hazardous waste removal at other times of year is quite expensive, so we urge residents to act seasonally.

Each year the Town of Madison participates in HOUSEHOLD HAZWASTE CENTRAL located at the Regional Water Authority in New Haven. Residents of participating towns are invited to bring most hazardous wastes to the site at 90 Sargent Drive (next to Long Wharf area) on Saturday mornings between 9AM and Noon. Collections for 2008 start May 10th and continue to October 25th. No collections will be made on major holiday weekends (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day). Additionally Madison will host a satellite collection at Hammonasset State Park on September 27th.

For more information on what to bring or not bring, refer to brochures at Town Campus, Scranton Library, and The Depot or visit the Water Authority web site at www.rwater.com/hazwaste.
