Household hazardous waste day in Beverly, MA

Beverly's own day, and the reciprocal program

The Health Department's 2026 collection was held on Saturday, April 25, 8 a.m. to noon at Beverly High School, 100 Sohier Road. There is no second Beverly date this year. Instead, Beverly takes part in a reciprocal program where its residents are welcome at other towns' events; the Northeast District 2 reciprocity schedule lists them.

Ask the host town whether it wants proof of address. Several hosts take cash or check only. The schedule flags fees for visitors from outside the host town, listed as $45, $55 and $90 by volume on its Peabody row, so ask the host which applies to you.

Curbside, the city says paint, stains, tires, propane tanks, used motor oil, fluorescent bulbs, TVs, computers and rechargeable batteries are not allowed in the trash or cart.
