Orange County to host hazardous waste collection events

Posted

Orange County will host a Hazardous Waste collection event for businesses, municipalities, school districts and farms by appointment only on September 30, and Household Hazardous Waste and Operation Safe Scripts Pharmaceutical Collections for Orange County residents on October 1.

The address for both events is 21 Training Center Lane in New Hampton, with the entrance to the site located across from the Mid-Hudson Psych, Center on Rte. 17M.

The September 30 event is for businesses, schools, farms and municipalities only and will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Pre-registration is required, and the cost for disposal will be determined by the vendor based on the type and amount of waste to be disposed of (up to 220 pounds per vehicle). Drop off times will be scheduled by the vendor. A registration form can be found on the County website by clicking on the “Hazardous Waste” tab at orangecountygov.com/efs. Registrations will be accepted until Friday, September 16.

The October 1st event is free for Orange County residents with proof of residency (driver’s license or utility bill with Orange County address) and will also be held at the OCTS #1 Maintenance Garage in New Hampton located at the address above. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office will be on hand to collect unwanted over the counter and prescription medication.

Businesses, schools, farms, and municipalities must register for the September 30th event and may not attend the October 1st collection event. Fifty-five gallon drums or containers containing similar volumes of waste are not permitted at the Household Hazardous Waste event on October 1.

If you have questions about either of these events, please call Ermin Siljkovic at 291-3246 or visit the website orangecountygov.com/efs and click on the household hazardous waste tab.
