Newburyport Regional Hazardous Waste Day

Newburyport – The Cities of Newburyport and Amesbury and Towns of Groveland, Newbury and West Newbury will be holding their annual Household Hazardous Waste Day on Saturday, August 2, 2025 from 8am to 12pm. This event will be held at the Newburyport Department of Public Services (DPS) lot located at 16A Perry Way and it will be held rain or shine. This annual drop-off event allows residents to dispose of hazardous materials in an environmentally responsible manner. Please note, contractors may not use Household Hazardous Waste Day to dispose of materials.

Trident Environmental Services will be on site to accept oil-based paints (no latex paint), varnishes, pesticides, pool chemicals, gasoline, and other hazardous household chemicals. Costs for residents from Newburyport, Amesbury, Groveland, Newbury and West Newbury are $25 for up to 3 gallons or pounds, $40 for up to 10 gallons or pounds, and $75 for up to 25 gallons or pounds. Residents from other communities are charged the following: $40 for up to 3 gallons or pounds, $55 for up to 10 gallons or pounds, and $90 for up to 25 gallons or pounds. Residents should expect to be charged by the size of the container, not the approximation of the chemicals remaining in the container. Cash and checks (made payable to the City of Newburyport) are accepted.

Trident will NOT accept commercial/industrial waste, latex/water-based paint, ammunition, asbestos, radioactive material, fire extinguishers, or medical or biological waste. To ensure safety, please adhere to the following handling procedures: leave materials in original labeled containers; tighten caps and lids and place containers in sturdy upright boxes rather than in garbage bags. Most importantly, DO NOT MIX CHEMICALS. A full list of accepted materials may be found on the City of Newburyport website (www.cityofnewburyport.com/HHW).

In addition to hazardous waste, this event will also feature a paper shredding truck for on-site document shredding. This service will be provided by the Newburyport-based company Shred Source. The first file size box is free and there will be a $5 charge for each additional box. Cash and checks (made payable to the City of Newburyport) are accepted. No credit cards.
