The Mad River Resource Management Alliance will hold an emergency Household Hazardous Waste Collection to deal with the chemicals that were removed from flooded locations in our communities. We will accept all paints, pesticides, solvents, fuels, acids, lubricating oil, mercury products and similar materials.

Moretown Landfill - updated dates & hours:

We will assess whether additional hours are needed as we progress during the week.There will be no charge for the disposal of flood-related chemicals brought to this collection. We have our regularly scheduled HHW Collection on October 1 from 9 to 2 at Harwood Union High School. It is important that anyone bringing chemicals to the Moretown Landfill Collection or any other collection follow these guidelines:

1. Be sure that the containers are secure. Place in a larger container if the original container is damaged or leaking. but use extreme caution if there is leakage and absorb spilled material with kitty litter.
2. Keep the area well ventilated while collecting and transporting these materials.
3. Do not mix contents of various containers.
4. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
5. Don't dump chemicals down the drain and don't burn any chemical waste.
6. Any bagged pesticides that are wet should be placed in plastic bags to prevent spillage during transport.
