"Hazardous Waste collection is the FIRST Saturday of each month April thru November between 7:30 AM and 1:00 PM. If near a holiday, please check the holiday schedule to see if we are open. If we are closed on the weekend that would be hazardous waste day it will normally be skipped entirely for that month.
You may want to visit www. PaintCare. org for paint disposal options in your area.
#RiversideRecycling accepts #HouseholdHazardousWaste ( #HHW ) on the 1st Saturday of the month (April through November.) Collection occurs from 7:30AM to 1PM. This program is open to all Maine residents disposing of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) from their residence. Portland E-Card holders may dispose of up to 10 gallons of HHW annually with a maximum of TWO visits at no charge (i.e. two visits of 5 gallons each visit, or one visit with 10 gallons will use up the HHW portion of your E-Card for the year). Acceptable paint, stain and varnish can be disposed of at no charge as part of the PaintCare .org program and does not go against the HHW portion of your Ecard. Residential customers without an Ecard will be charged $6.50 per gallon for liquid wastes or $3.50 per pound for solid wastes. Unfortunately, we cannot accept #HazardousWaste from businesses or municipalities..
How will the drop off program work?
- Prepare your household hazardous waste for drop off. When preparing hazardous items for disposal at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility, be sure that liquids are in sturdy leak-proof containers with caps or lids. Use the original container whenever possible. Secure breakable or loose items inside boxes or bags. Do not mix items together. Be careful that no items spill or break when they are in your vehicle.
- Bring your items to Riverside Recycling, 910 Riverside St. on the 1st Saturday of the month (April through November.) Collection occurs from 7:30AM to 1PM. When you arrive at the facility, stop at the attendant’s booth and speak with the attendant. ALL HAZARDOUS WASTE MUST BE DROPPED OFF BEFORE RECYCLING ANY OTHER ITEMS.
- Follow any directions you receive at the attendant’s booth and proceed into the facility. When you pull up at the HHW facility, stay in your vehicle. The HHW staff will handle removing your items for you."FMI:

#LincolnNE - #HazToGo Fall Mobile Events Offer Free, Convenient Disposal of #HouseholdWaste
Aug 31, 2026
"As fall approaches, many of us start tackling seasonal #cleanup projects, organizing the garage, clearing out the basement, or getting storage areas in order before the colder months arrive.
That often means rediscovering things that have been tucked away for months or even years: half-used cans of oil-based #paint, old #pesticides, cleaning #chemicals, #solvents, or leftover #AutomotiveFluids sitting on a shelf.
Over time, these everyday products can become #HouseholdHazardousWaste, and disposing of them improperly can create serious environmental risks. Chemicals poured down drains or thrown in the trash can pollute waterways, create hazards for sanitation workers and affect wildlife and the environment.
Fortunately, Lincoln and Lancaster County residents have convenient options for disposing of these materials safely.
Twice each year, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department hosts Household Hazardous Waste Mobile Collection events, bringing safe disposal services directly into local communities. These drive-through events make it easy for residents to clear potentially dangerous materials out of garages, basements and storage areas.
Residents simply gather unwanted household chemicals, place them in a leak-proof tote and bring them to one of the collection locations.
The fall events are a particularly good opportunity to tackle those clean-out projects before winter arrives and safely dispose of materials you no longer need.

At #Chevron’s Gates, Communities Demand #Justice and a #FossilFree Future
#AntiChevron Day 2026 united communities fighting #extraction, #EnvironmentalRacism, and #corporate impunity across continents
May 21, 2026 | Paul Paz y Miño
"Nearly three decades after communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon first brought global attention to Chevron’s crimes, and 13 years after activists launched the first Anti-Chevron Day in 20 countries, the resistance continues. Chevron remains one of the most polluting companies on Earth – and one of the most determined to avoid accountability for it.
Anti-Chevron Day
"For the 13th year running, Anti-Chevron Day brought frontline leaders from across the globe to the shadow of Chevron’s #RichmondCA refinery, where communities gathered with anger, grief, music, ceremony, and determination to confront one of the world’s most destructive oil companies.
"The gathering came just weeks after the historic First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, #Colombia, where Indigenous leaders and governments demanded an urgent and just transition away from the fossil fuel economy that continues to poison the territories and devastate the health of frontline communities worldwide. In Richmond, that demand felt immediate and deeply personal. It is being shaped by the people most directly harmed by extraction and pollution, and by movements building solidarity across borders.
"Chevron must clean up its '#RainforestChernobyl' in the #EcuadorianAmazon!
"For over three decades, Chevron chose profit over people. While drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon from 1964 to 1990, it deliberately dumped more than 16 billion gallons of #ToxicWastewater, spilled roughly 17 million gallons of #CrudeOil, and left #HazardousWaste in hundreds of open pits dug out of the forest floor."

Thanks everyone for another really great year. We’re stoked you had so much fun with our charm bracelets! We’ll see you next year September 24th and 25th!
Also, pour one out for the OG Bessie. She was put to rest like she would have wanted - stuffed in a DeVos trash can. #grrbola #hazardouswaste #snickerdoodles
