Pittsfield Hazardous Waste Collection Information

The City of Pittsfield will host a household hazardous waste collection on Saturday, November 8, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Casella Transfer Station, 500 Hubbard Avenue, Pittsfield.

This year’s event is at a new location, and pre-registration is mandatory—no walk-ins will be permitted. Register online by midnight on October 24 at https://rebrand.ly/hhwd-pitt. Space is limited, so participants must select a 30-minute appointment window for drop-off.

Review the full list of accepted and unaccepted items before registering. Accepted items include unwanted household products labeled for special handling or disposal, rechargeable button and non-alkaline batteries, and mercury-bearing thermostats and thermometers.

For safety, place materials in your vehicle’s trunk, remain in your vehicle during the drop-off, and refrain from smoking. Registered participants will receive additional instructions.
