The Town of Pittsford's annual appointment-only Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection event will again be combined with our Electronics Recycling and Document Shredding program and held Saturday, May 11, 2024 in collaboration with the Town of Perinton at the Perinton Highway Garage, 100 Cobb's Lane, from 7:45am to 12:00pm. Up to 30 gallons of allowed HHW materials per appointment will be accepted at no charge – please see the list of accepted items below.
To ensure safety and reduce waiting times, appointments are required for HHW collection; an appointment is NOT necessary for electronics recycling and/or document shredding only. HHW appointment scheduling is now under way. Pittsford and East Rochester residents can make an appointment by calling 248-6250 or going online to www.monroecounty.gov/ecopark. HHW appointments must be reserved by Friday, May 10 but please note appointments may fill up well in advance of the event so early registration is encouraged. If appointments are full, please check back as additional appointments may become available. Please note, waste from businesses will not be accepted.
Accepted Household Hazardous Waste items include oil-based and latex paint, wood stain and preservatives, automotive fluids (antifreeze; brake, power steering and transmission fluids), pesticides and fertilizers, flammable products (gasoline, kerosene, thinners, strippers, solvents), household cleaners (liquid soaps & waxes, drain cleaners, etc.), driveway sealer, pool and photo chemicals, rechargeable (Ni-Cad) and button batteries, mercury (thermometers, thermostats), syringes/sharps (safely packaged).
Please do not bring used motor oil or vehicle batteries (contact service station or retailer), propane tanks (bring to permanent HHW facility only), cans with dried paint (if it rattles when shaken, remove lid and place in trash), empty containers (trash or recycle), glazing/spackle and joint compounds (put in trash).
There is no appointment needed for electronics recycling, which also is free of charge. Accepted items include computers and computer equipment, printers, cell phones and mobile devices, televisions, GPS units, video and audio equipment, wiring and cabling, microwaves, and other electronics. Please do not bring small appliances (toasters, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, irons, hair dryers, etc.), items containing freon (air conditioners, humidifiers), carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors and large appliances (refrigerators, ovens, etc.).
Certified document shredding (residential only, 4-5 box limit, no need to remove staples/paper clips) also will be available at no charge. No appointment is needed for document shredding.
For those unable to take advantage of the May 11 collection date, Monroe County offers other HHW, e-recycling and document shredding options throughout the year. For more information, or for business waste disposal options, visit www.monroecounty.gov/ecopark.
