Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day In Bridgeport Rescheduled

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Bridgeport's annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day, in memory of Dennis Scinto, has been rescheduled, Mayor Joe Ganim and officials announced.

The event, which had been set for this Saturday, has been rescheduled to 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, at Blackham School, 425 Thorme St. The date was changed to October due to expected inclement weather this weekend.

"This yearly event allows the Bridgeport community to securely dispose of dangerous objects at no cost," officials said in a statement. "Bring your hazardous items, and the on-site personnel will handle the rest. Residents are encouraged to load their trunks with hazardous items and pull up to the designated drop off area where crews will remove the hazardous waste, without the need to exit the vehicle."
