The easiest time to get rid of your hazardous household waste in Darien is coming this Saturday, June 3 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Noroton Railroad Station parking lot, so

You can also drop it off at nearby towns later (see the list below), but it won’t get any easier this year than when you can do it right here in town. If you’ve already got some household hazardous waste you’re itching to get rid of, put it aside this week and look for more. Household hazardous waste can be dangerous if some of the chemicals mix for whatever reason (for instance, if you misread a marred label or if something leaks). If you pour them down the drain or throw them out with regular garbage, they can be a hazard to the environment or to other people (or both). If a young child ingests them, the danger is obvious.
