Dear fellow Hanoverians:
South Shore Recycling Cooperative member towns will host four
household hazardous waste collections this fall. Residents may attend
their own town’s event at no charge.
Collections are scheduled from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. as follows:
*9/24 Plymouth* DPW, 169 Camelot Drive
*10/1 Weymouth* DPW, 120 Winter Street (Unwanted medications also
accepted)
*10/29 Hanover* Transfer Station, (Route 139), with *Norwell *and
*Rockland*
*11/7 Middleborough *Town Hall, 10 Nickerson Avenue (no paint)
Residents of those and of member towns *Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham,
Kingston and Scituate *may attend other member towns’ collections at
their own town’s expense. To do so, request and bring a signed
*Authorization Form* from your town’s Department of Public Works.
Some towns may limit subsidized quantities to 15 gallons or 30 pounds.
Visitors from any town without permission may attend for a fee of
$43/15 gallons or 30 pounds of waste. Commercial generators may call
ahead to (781) 879-4435 to arrange disposal and payment.
*Bring*: Oil based paint (except Middleboro), stains, solvents,
gasoline, automotive fluids, pesticides, photography and pool
chemicals, acids, bases, and poisons in secure, labeled containers.
*Do not bring:* industrial, pathological and medical waste,
radioactive materials, pressurized gas cylinders or explosives.
*Oil-based paint,* *propane tanks, motor oil, antifreeze, auto and
rechargeable batteries, and fluorescent lamps *are collected regularly
by some towns and some retailers. Residents should use those services
if available. Go to http://ssrcoop.info/
.
Latex paint and driveway sealer are *messy, but not hazardous*. If not
recyclable as described below, dry with absorbent material and dispose
with trash (keep lid off).
*Usable leftover latex paint* will be collected and recycled into new
paint products at locations near household hazardous waste events by
The Paint Exchange LLC of North Scituate, MA. These pilot collections
are made possible by a grant provided by Mass DEP. For locations, and
to see if your paint qualifies for recycling, go to

Residents who turn in a* toxic mercury* thermometer, thermostat or
other mercury item may swap it for a digital thermometer. This program
is sponsored by *Covanta at SEMASS*.
PSC Environmental will conduct the collections. For more information
