Residents of Hanover, Hingham, Hull, Kingston and Middleboro must obtain a signed authorization form from their town's responsible department (Board of Health or DPW) to attend out of town collections at their Town's expense.  Those Towns may limit subsidized quantities.

Residents from any town without authorization, and commercial generators, may attend any collection with a check made out to Stericycle Environmental.

** Latex paint is not hazardous, just messy.  Usable latex paint will be accepted at the Hanover collection ONLY.  Please sort it from your hazardous material. It will be recycled into Recolor Paint in Hanover.  Latex paint may also be dried to prevent spillage and disposed with regular trash.
