Seasonal Household Hazardous Waste (Paints/Chemicals/Pesticides) is only accepted April - September

Many products that we use regularly in our homes, workshops, and garages can cause problems for us and our environment. When discarded improperly, these products can become hazardous wastes. To help dispose of these materials safely, The Authority built a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility for Oneida and Herkimer County residents. There is no charge for residents to drop off household hazardous wastes.
