East Hampton Town residents are invited to drop off hazardous materials for proper disposal at the recycling center at 260 Springs-Fireplace Road in East Hampton on Saturday.
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.
