Household Hazardous Waste Community Collection Days (Residential Pickup, No Drop-Offs)
Due to COVID-19, the City of Somerville, in collaboration with ACV Enviro, will be hosting an alternative program for residential pick up of Household Hazardous Waste. Instead of coming to a drop-off site, we are coming to you!
So clean out the garage, empty the basement, and get rid of...
- Oil
- Paint
- Cleaners
- Antifreeze
- Poisons
- Pesticides
- Batteries
- Fluorescent Lamps
- Electronics
- And more!
How to Register
View the schedule of upcoming dates below and click on the "Request Pickup" link.
Sorry, there are no pickup slots available right now. Please check back later.
Please note: Hazardous waste pickup events will happen from April to November on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Registration is required. A new “Request Pickup” link will be added here 3 weeks prior to each event and will be removed when the maximum number of requests is reached.
Somerville residents can also drop off select waste items at the DPW Yard at 1 Franey Road. Yard waste, electronic waste, and tires will be accepted. Note that yard waste cannot be in plastic bags.
Residents may drop off eligible items weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. or between 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Proof of residency, such as a driver's license or utility bill, is required and must be presented at the guard shack. Drop-off will be open to residents only, not contractors. The City reserves the right to refuse drop-off for any reason.
Residents are required to wear a mask and observe all City COVID-19 protocols during drop-off. DPW office buildings remain closed to the public.
