Suffolk County, MA household hazardous waste
City of Boston Zero Waste Day. This page is the suburban / county program for the Boston metro — not a “near me” material hub and not the city dispose page.
Boston residents at posted Zero Waste Day events. Other Suffolk County cities (Revere, Chelsea, Winthrop) run their own events.
Boston has no permanent HHW depot in the program we verified — events only.
Where: Boston Zero Waste Day events
How to use it: Zero Waste Day with residency proof and posted gallon caps. Confirm the calendar on boston.gov.
Cost: Zero Waste Day (residency proof; 20 gal chemicals/paint/oil; ≤5 gal containers) We do not invent fees.
Pesticides, herbicides, pool chemicals, and gasoline belong on this county program when the official list says so — they are not a second city bulky day.
