Chautauqua County’s Department of Public Facilities (DPF) Division of Solid Waste will host a Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day on June 14, 2025. The event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Town of Chautauqua Highway Building, located at 50 Patterson Street in Mayville.
This initiative allows residents to dispose of unwanted household hazardous waste safely. It is a free service available exclusively to households; commercial businesses are not eligible to participate.
Residents can bring various hazardous materials for disposal, such as used antifreeze, fluorescent tube lights, flammable adhesives and solvents, paint thinner and mineral spirits, deck cleaners, pool chemicals, non-empty aerosol cans, herbicides and pesticides, chemistry sets and flammable floor polish, as well as latex and oil-based paint.
To take part in the event, residents must complete a registration form listing the materials they intend to drop off. The form is accessible online at chautauquacountyny.gov/landfill and will also be available in printed copies at the event. A full list of accepted items is included on the form.
Items not accepted during this event include batteries, fire extinguishers, motor oil or other waste oils, caulk and drywall compound, electronics, prescription drugs and medical sharps, and smoke detectors.
The event is supported by Chautauqua County along with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Storer’s Container Service, and Chautauqua County HAZMAT.
For further information or inquiries about the event, residents can contact the Solid Waste Analyst’s Office at 716-661-8424.
Additionally, a second Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day is planned for September 13, 2025. It will occur from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Chautauqua County DPF Building on 454 North Work Street in Falconer. Registration will be required for that event as well.
