East Providence to host Eco-Depot; Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Eco-Depot is a free service for Rhode Island residents who wish to dispose of their household hazardous waste safely and properly.
We all have hazardous waste lurking in our homes including oven cleaners, window cleaners, flea collars, pool chemicals, nail polish remover, oil-based paint in rusty old paint cans.
*This free service is available by appointment only.
Most common household hazardous waste:
• Oil-based paint (Note that latex and other water-based paints are not considered hazardous.) All paint, however, will be taken at this collection.
• Rechargeable batteries (Note that single-use batteries are not considered hazardous.)
• Mercury-containing devices (thermometers, thermostats, fluorescent bulbs)
• Fertilizer and Pool Chemicals • Automotive Fluids
