Household hazardous waste day for Weymouth, MA

Boxes of paint cans, aerosol cans and a red gas can packed in the open trunk of a car at a cold-morning household hazardous waste collection

The next date: November 14 in Hull

Weymouth belongs to the South Shore Recycling Cooperative (SSRC). The fall series notice says registration is required, to reduce wait times. The last event on the registration form is 11/14 in Hull at the DCR Skate Rink, George Washington Boulevard at Rockland Circle, and residents of all SSRC towns may attend with proof of residence. Most events run 9 am to 1 pm. Register at bit.ly/Fall26HHW, and call 781-329-8318 with questions.

The earlier fall dates in Whitman, Marshfield, Braintree, Hanover and Plymouth are closed or cancelled on the form. Weymouth's own day was a drop-off day on April 11, 2026 from 9am to 1pm. No spring 2027 date is posted yet. Checked November 2026.

What they take and how to pack

Accepted at all events: oil-based paint and stains, solvents, adhesives, automotive fluids, antifreeze, gasoline, flammable liquids and aerosols, pesticides and herbicides, pool chemicals, drain cleaners, mercury products, fluorescent tubes and rechargeable batteries. Pack items in boxes, not bags, in closed containers, in the trunk or rear of the vehicle. Bring gasoline in DOT-approved gas cans and keep other liquid containers to 5 gallons.

The subsidized limits are 50 gallons of liquids or 100 pounds of solids; larger amounts carry a fee. Not accepted: latex and acrylic paint, prescription medications and sharps, lead acid vehicle batteries, industrial waste and explosives.

Year-round options in Weymouth

The DPW at 120 Winter Street takes oil-based paint, used motor oil, propane tanks, fire extinguishers and used cooking oil, Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 3 pm, with no registration. That covers the most common basement and garage leftovers. Latex paint is not hazardous: the flyer says to remove the lid, absorb the liquid with cat litter or paint hardener, and put it in the trash.

If a basement or garage cleanout turns up a wall of mixed chemicals, JUNKRUN can take the non-hazardous bulk out (furniture, shelving, appliances) and you handle the chemicals at DPW or on Nov 14. See our Weymouth basement cleanout page.
