LOOKING FOR INPUT - Household Hazardous Waste


The Department of Public of Works and the Board of Health are working to re-establish Household Hazardous Waste Days for Hull residents, whether it be an event in town or at a neighboring town.

What we need is an idea of how many people and how much waste will be taken in if we hold one of these events (we pay based on the volume: whether it be by weight or by gallon, like for paint or other liquids).

Please respond to this post if you are interested in taking part in a Household Hazardous Waste Day, we need to know:
          1)   How many residents are interested in participating
          2)   How many residents will be disposing of paint  or other liquids
                (along with an estimate of how many gallons)
          3)   What other types of waste will be disposed of and what volume
                 (CLICK HERE to learn more about what can be disposed of)
                               
We are very intent on making these events a reality in Town again but need to make sure that it can be funded and that everyone gets the chance to participate in it. If things work out, we may begin them as part of the ongoing South Shore Recycling Cooperative program that still has three collection days remaining in the Spring calendar. Worst case scenario, we would begin our collection days this coming Fall.

Please be patient as we work through all of the requirements of implementing a program like this...
