- Goodwill
- Local Municipal Transfer Stations

Household Hazardous Waste
When hazardous materials, such as fluorescent lights, paint, and other chemicals, enter the trash, they can have harmful impacts on the environment. To minimize these impacts, Household Hazardous Waste materials can be dropped off for recycling or reuse. The Dutchess County Resource Recovery Agency hosts Household Hazardous Waste and Electronic Waste disposal days annually. The Dutchess County Division of Solid Waste Management also posts information about upcoming Household Hazardous Waste and Electronic Waste disposal days on their website.
