Temporary One-Day Collections

Temporary one-day household hazardous waste (HHW) collection events held in multiple locations throughout your service area provide convenient, local access to residents.  This advantage eliminates the need for large capital investments required to build and operate a permanent collection facility.

Temporary one-day collection events can service a large number of residents in a short timeframe and are appropriate for first time collections, rural communities, and communities where funds are limited.  For Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs) and Small Quantity Generators (SQGs), one-day events offer a legal and safe disposal option.

Program Design and Implementation

After evaluating your unique community needs, budgetary conditions and program goals, Clean Harbors provides recommendations for the specific type of program components, public education and outreach, and data gathering and evaluation.  We then guide you through the implementation process.

HHW Collection and Management

Clean Harbors identifies, segregates, packages, transports and disposes of all HHW material received during a temporary one-day collection event.  We offer the latest technology available to maximize your recycling efforts and can handle every type of material that may be brought into the collection event.

Regulatory Assistance

Clean Harbors supports your temporary one-day HHW collection event with regulatory assistance at the local, state, provincial and federal levels.  Our HHW specialists alert you of changes in existing regulations and implementation of new regulations as well as provide guidance for compliance.  All services are provided with strict internal regulatory oversight.

Reporting and Technical Assistance

Agricultural and pesticide collection events often have extensive reporting requirements.  Our staff is available to assist in all reporting procedures as well as answer your questions and provide full technical support to your program.
