Town schedules satellite hazardous-waste collection for Aug. 8 for Washington property owners
Summary
A satellite household hazardous waste collection for Washington residents/property taxpayers is set for Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. at the Public Works Garage in Newberry; proof of Washington property ownership is required and the town will be billed by the Planning Commission for attendees.
The Select Board recorded a satellite household hazardous waste collection scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at 50 South Road (Public Works Garage) in Newberry. The minutes state the event is open to Washington residents and property taxpayers only, requires proof of property ownership, and carries no onsite fee; the town will be billed by the Planning Commission for those who attend.
Why it matters: These collection events give residents a way to dispose of household hazardous materials (paints, solvents, pesticides and similar items) safely rather than discarding them in regular trash or drains. Requiring proof of Washington property ownership and limiting the event to town taxpayers preserves local resources while expanding access to a designated collection site.
Residents with eligible materials were directed to attend during the stated hours; no further operational changes or costs were recorded in the minutes.
