Westchester County’s Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF) will be partnering with WIN Waste Innovations to conduct a Household Recycling Day (HRD) Event on Sunday, September 17th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Charles Point Resource Recovery Facility, 3 John Walsh Blvd., in Peekskill. The upcoming event in Peekskill will be the third HRD event of 2023, giving residents across the County an opportunity to conveniently and safely dispose of their household wastes. In 2022, DEF hosted six HRD events for over 3,800 County residents and accepted nearly 400,000 pounds of household waste. The first two HRD events of 2023, held at FDR State Park, in Yorktown Heights, and Sprain Ridge Park, in Yonkers. The events have welcomed over 1,500 residents! In addition to properly labelled household chemicals, tires, scrap metal, electronics, appliances, and other special wastes found in a typical household, residents can bring documents for shredding and expired or unwanted medications for disposal to the September 17th HRD Event. Generally, the following items are accepted for safe disposal or recycling:
Items that will not be accepted and should not be brought to the Household Recycling Day include: non-rechargeable alkaline and carbon zinc batteries (they can be safely discarded in the trash), motor oil, smoke detectors, cell phones, explosives (flares, fireworks, ammunition), construction debris and hypodermic needles. Also, waste from businesses, schools, or other institutions will not be accepted. For more information on what to bring to this event, visit www.westchestergov.com/recycling or call (914) 813-5425. If you are unable to attend the HRD Event, you can still dispose of your hard-to-get-rid-of household waste by making a convenient appointment with the County’s Household-Material Recycling Facility (H-MRF), 15 Woods Road, Valhalla. The H-MRF is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. by appointment only, and accepts the same items that are accepted at HRD events.
