STOP Day on the Turnpike

Saturday offers a chance to properly dispose of household hazardous waste, as the Town of Southampton will hold a STOP day — for Stop Throwing Out Pollutants — at the Sag Harbor transfer station on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Residents can get rid of automotive products, like antifreeze, batteries, and brake fluid, and household products like oil-based paints and paint strippers, stains and varnishes, toilet bowl cleaners, and driveway sealers. Lawn and garden products, like pesticides and insecticides, along with aerosol cans, kerosene, and swimming pool chemicals can also be disposed of during this time.

A full list of accepted materials can be found on the town’s website or by calling the town’s recycling office at 631-283-5210. The next STOP day will be at the Hampton Bays transfer facility on Oct. 21.
