DevensHHW (Devens Regional Household Hazardous Products Collection Center)

This regional service makes it easier for residents of Ayer, Bolton, Devens, Groton, Harvard, Lancaster, Littleton, Lunenburg, Shirley and Townsend to properly manage toxic waste. If your town is not listed contact us to find out how your town can be a member too!

Center is also available to member town businesses that do not exceed DEP’s threshold for Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQGs) and generate less than 220 pounds (approximately 27 gallons) of ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic, or hazardous waste or waste oil per month and no acutely hazardous waste. Businesses are required to pre-register via email or phone. Business disposal fees will be based on the materials being managed.

More details including what materials the facility does and doesn’t accept are listed on the Collection Center website.

We thank the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection for grant funding that helped establish this facility.
