Maynard’s annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day gives residents a safe and convenient way to dispose of oil-based paint, pesticides, household cleaners, and other materials that can’t go in the regular trash. It’s one of the easiest ways to responsibly clear out items that have been sitting around the house.

The event is Saturday, March 28, from 8 a.m. to noon at the DPW Drop-Off Center, 38 Winter St.

There is a $60 minimum charge per carload. Payment can be made by check (payable to the Town of Maynard) or by credit or debit card — no cash accepted. Materials should be left in their original containers with caps and lids tightened.

For a full list of accepted materials and additional guidelines, visit the town’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day page or call the DPW at 978-897-1317.
