Frequently Asked Questions:

How will this event proceed? What do I do when I get there?

What happens to my waste after it is dropped off?

CleanHarbors LLC has been hired to handle all accepted materials for this event. Their team of specialists will sort all materials on site. All materials will be removed from the site and transported to recycling facilities at the end of the event. For more information about HHW disposal, please visit: https://www.cleanharbors.com/

I was unable to register for this event. When is the next one?

Our next HHW event will take place in 2025. 

I can no longer make the time slot I signed up for. Can I change it?

Due to the limited availability and nature of this event, please ensure you are able to attend during your registered time slot. Since space will be very limited for the event, we must keep a strict schedule. If you are unable to make your designated time slot, please contact us asap and we will try our best to accommodate your request.   

Where are you located?
7312 Route 31, Lyons NY, 14489. Wayne County Soil and Water Conservation District’s office is next to the Wayne County Campus (County Jail, Sheriff’s Office, and County Election Office). We share the same driveway as the jail, and our building is located to the right, up on the hill.  Once you pull into the driveway, there will be signs directing you to the drop-off location. Our office is about halfway between the Newark Walmart and downtown Lyons.

I found some extra items after signing up. Can I bring those too?

Yes. If you come across a few extra items, feel free to bring them during your scheduled drop-off time.
