Acceptable/Unacceptable Materials
Clean Harbors will accept for transportation and disposal the majority of hazardous waste typically produced by households. It is stressed for the safety of everyone involved that all materials are known and properly labeled. Wastes that are not in their original containers will be accepted as “known” wastes provided they are labeled. Unknown wastes, if acceptable, will be field tested and packaged for incineration.
Clean Harbors reserves the right to refuse any waste deemed unsafe to handle or unsuitable for the collection. Such wastes include:
• Large quantities of unknown materials
• Radioactive waste, including smoke detectors
• Explosives, gun powder, flares, ammunition
• Unstable wastes
• Pressurized fire extinguishers
• Unknown gas cylinders
• Substances regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency
• No Medical waste
If the above listed unacceptable wastes are unintentionally received, Clean Harbors will work with the Town to provide safe disposal of the materials.
