The STOP program, for Stop Throwing Out Pollutants, will accept pesticides, engine coolants, stale fuel, bleach, weed killers, paint thinners, drain cleaners, swimming pool chemicals, and similar items from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The program is open only to town residents, who “can make a significant contribution to the protection of our precious groundwater supply and the preservation of our bays and estuaries” by taking part, a release said.
