Household Hazardous Waste Collection
The Town of Trumbull offers a Household Hazardous Waste Collection program each year. Trumbull, Monroe, and Easton residents may participate. Residents will be required to show their Connecticut Driver's License when they drop off their hazardous waste materials.
Hazardous Waste Collection Day
Saturday, October 7, 2023
Time: 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Place: 307 Indian Ledge Park Drive next to BMX Facility
Neonicotinoid Pesticides
There are restrictions on pesticides that contain neonicotinoid pesticides because they are highly toxic to bees and other pollinators. Please check your household for these products, remove them from use, and bring to the Trumbull Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day for proper disposal.
