Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Got toxics?
South Shore Recycling Cooperative member towns, including Hanover, will
host household hazardous waste collections this spring. Residents may
attend their own town’s event at no charge.
Collection is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on April 26 at the
Hanover Transfer Station, 118 Rockland Street.
Some towns may limit subsidized quantities. Commercial generators, call
ahead to 1-617-852-3086 to arrange disposal and payment.
Bring: Oil based paint, 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, anti-freeze, medical sharps,
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 www.ssrcoop.info click on “Other Stuff”.
Latex paint and driveway sealer are messy, but not hazardous. If not
recyclable as described below, absorb liquid with cat litter and dispose in
trash.
Usable leftover latex paint is accepted and recycled into new paint
products at The Paint Exchange LLC of North Scituate for a fee of $2/can.
To see if your paint qualifies for recycling, and for hours of operation,
go to www.ssrcoop.info and click on “Latex Paint”, or call
781-545-1272.
For information about collections in other towns, or for a link to a
printable flyer, go to www.ssrcoop.info and click on “Hazardous Waste”.
PSC Environmental will conduct the collections. For more information, call
the South Shore Recycling Cooperative at 781-329-8318, or go to
www.ssrcoop.info or contact Claire Galkowski at ssrecyclingcoop@verizon.net
