Tips for Residents with Household Hazardous Waste
Dispose at Town-hosted HHW Events
Many towns hold S.T.O.P. Day (Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) events at centralized recycling centers—especially in Oyster Bay, Brookhaven, Huntington, North Hempstead, and Babylon.
Examples:
The Town of Oyster Bay hosts S.T.O.P. collection days at the Old Bethpage Solid Waste Disposal Complex (101 BethpageSweet Hollow Rd) on designated weekends (typically spring months). Items accepted include flammable liquids, gases, paints, pesticides, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, solvents, gas grills, fire extinguishers, small propane tanks, and smoke detectors
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.
Not accepted: Medical waste, pharmaceuticals, infectious or biological waste, explosives, fire extinguishers (often excluded), or commercial/industrial-generated hazardous waste.
