Hazardous Waste

EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2025, the Village will no longer accept hazardous waste drop-offs.  The Village will schedule specific days during the year for the collection of this type of waste from property owners at Public Works, and it will be promptly taken off-island.

This is a common practice among counties and municipalities on the mainland, which helps protect the collection area from contamination.

The fall dates for drop-off have been scheduled. Public Works will accept hazardous waste on November 20 and 21. If the pick-up from our hazardous waste contractor is delayed due to weather or another circumstance impacting barge service, the alternate drop-off dates are December 4 and 5. The Village has added the drop-off dates to its Trash & Vegetation Pick Up Calendar and Village Calendar. As soon as the dates for spring are arranged, the Village will publish this information. 

During the established drop-off days, the following hazardous waste items are accepted at the Public Works Department:

Paint, chemicals (household cleaners, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers), batteries (including golf cart batteries), and electronics (TVs, cell phones, computers). White goods (ex., refrigerators/freezers/washers/dryers) are still accepted year-round.

When you arrive at the facility, come inside the gate, and our staff will assist you.  Public Works does not accept construction debris or yard debris.  When the gate is closed, DO NOT DISCARD TRASH OR ANY OTHER ITEMS OUTSIDE OF THE GATE.   There are receptacles outside the gate for excess household trash.  These receptacles are not meant for paint, lawn chairs, construction debris, or yard debris.  Please help the Village keep this area clean.

If you are not able to be on the island during the designated drop-off dates, it is suggested that you use your property manager or a trusted neighbor who has already been designated to handle maintenance and post-storm activities on your property.
