Every year, regional partners for clean water and a healthy environment host a community hazardous waste collection day known as Clean Sweep. Now in its 29th year, Clean Sweep provides a safe disposal venue by collecting chemicals and other materials which pose a threat to public health, water and environment.
Clean Sweep is free to farmers in the eight NYC Watershed counties and free to all Delaware County household residents. Delaware County businesses, municipalities and county agencies are also invited to properly dispose of waste materials. Disposal services for businesses and municipalities are provided “at cost” with a cost estimate based on your itemized disposal list.
Register online at cleansweepdelaware.eventbrite.com by Oct. 1. If you prefer to register by phone call 607-865-6474 between Sept. 16-Oct. 1, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or register by email to CleanSweepDelaware@gmail.com to share your list of items; you’ll be assigned a day and time to bring the items. This public service is brought to you by the Delaware County Department of Public Works and the Watershed Agricultural Council (WAC), with funding from Delaware County, WAC, NYC DEP and NYS DEC.
