The next Household Hazardous Waste Day Drop-off is Saturday, from 9am to 2pm, at Brookfield High School.  First Selectman Steve Dunn says they had $8,000 in the town budget and HRRA provided a $10,000 grant.  Last time there were almost 600 people who participated.

Residents of Bethel, Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield, Newtown and Ridgefield can load up vehicles with unwanted chemicals and paint among other items.  Volunteers will empty people's cars if needed. 

Electronics, pharmaceuticals and medical waste are among the items not accepted.
