    Tips for Residents with Household Hazardous Waste

    Dispose at Town-hosted HHW Events (“STOP” Days)

    Many towns hold S.T.O.P. (Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) events at centralized recycling centers—especially in Oyster Bay, Brookhaven, Huntington, North Hempstead, and Babylon.

    Examples:

    Residents also report that Town of Huntington’s recycling center (Huntington) operates a permanent HHW drop-off facility, open Tue–Sat 9AM–3PM, accepting up to 5 gallons per visit of most household hazardous materials.

    What’s Typically Accepted—and What Isn’t:

    Accepted: Adhesives, antifreeze, automotive batteries, bleach, gasoline, flammable liquids, herbicides, insecticides, mercury thermostats/thermometers, oilbased paint, solvents, waste oil, and more.
