Household hazardous wastes (HHW) are products disposed of by households that may contain hazardous ingredients or are toxic, flammable or explosive. HHW includes some cleaners, oil-based paints, stains, varnishes, paint thinners, lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, automotive fluids, pesticides, herbicides, and some electronics. Collecting and managing HHW separately from regular household trash helps ensure these products are managed safely.
If you've been saving your unneeded household hazards, such as paint, pesticides, batteries and more, now is the time to safely dispose of them.
Household Hazardous Waste Day will be held on Saturday, October 11th at the Kennebunk Public Services Department, located at 36 Sea Road, from 8am -1pm.
Please refer to the list for items that will and will not be accepted. Proof of residency will be required!
