Lynnfield hazardous waste day, November 14, 2026
What the town says about the day
The town typically holds a community HHW Day in November, and the 2026 date is November 14. Residents who cannot attend in Lynnfield may attend an event in another community as part of a regional collaboration.
Past Lynnfield events have run at Lynnfield Middle School, 505 Main St, in the morning. The 2026 location was not on the pages we read, so confirm it with the DPW.
Do not leave anything at a school or the DPW yard before the event; bring it on the day.
Drop-off outside the event
The DPW office takes fluorescent tubes, thermometers and thermostats during office hours: Monday to Thursday 8 to 4:30 and Friday 8 to 1, at 55 Summer St. Everything else, such as oil-based paint, pesticides, pool chemicals and solvents, waits for the event.
Keep chemicals in the original container, upright, and out of the car's heat. Never mix products in one bucket.
Do not put tubes or thermometers in the trash; the fluorescent tubes contain mercury and the DPW office is the town's drop-off for them.
Prepping a garage or basement before you go
Most hazardous waste in Lynnfield comes from basement shelves and garage cabinets. Sort cans into a box first, carry out the rest, and let us take the empty cabinets, old lumber, shelving and boxes. A half trailer for a one-car garage is $319.
We do not accept paint, fuel, pesticides, propane or batteries on the truck.
Wear gloves, open a door for air, and never pour leftovers down a drain. Once the shelves are empty, a cleanout takes an hour or two.
What to bring to Lynnfield Hazardous Waste Day
