This Saturday from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM, SCRRRA will be hosting a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event at Norwich Public Works, giving residents a safe and environmentally responsible way to dispose of items that don’t belong in your regular trash.

Please refer to the map for where to enter the pickup site. Also note that Clinton Ave will be closed to thru traffic for the duration of the event.
