Westchester County’s Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF) will be conducting a Household Recycling Day (HRD) Event on Saturday, September 17th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the 5th Avenue Parking Lot in Mount Vernon, across from Grace Baptist Church. The upcoming HRD event in Mt. Vernon will be the third HRD event of 2022, giving residents across the County an opportunity to conveniently and safely dispose of their household waste. 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. Residents should place items in their trunk or backseat and remain in their vehicles while staff unload vehicles in the drop-off area. 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 paint (both latex and oil), 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.
