PUBLIC WORKS IS INFORMING US ABOUT THE UPCOMING HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION 9/12/26
Cleaning out the garage, basement or shed? Before you toss it, take a second look.

Oil-based paints, pesticides, solvents, gasoline, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs—and certain batteries—need special handling and shouldn't simply go in your household trash.

Waynesboro's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day gives residents a safe way to dispose of these materials.

📅 Saturday, September 12, 2026
🕣 8:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
📍 Waynesboro City Shop (Operations), 900 Essex Avenue

One item we're paying particular attention to this year: batteries. 🔋Lithium-ion and rechargeable batteries are found in everyday items such as cell phones, laptops, power tools, cameras, toys and other rechargeable devices. When these batteries are placed in household trash, they can be damaged or crushed during collection and create a fire risk for our employees, equipment and community.

The simple rule: rechargeable and lithium-ion batteries don't belong in your trash.

Bring them to Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day along with other accepted household hazardous materials.

Check the attached flyer for the full list of what will—and will not—be accepted. No trailers will be accepted this year.

Questions? Call Public Works at 540-942-6743.

Not sure before you throw something away? Ask. Helping residents make the right disposal choice helps protect our employees, our equipment and our community.

PUBLIC WORKS IS REMINDING US THAT LITHIUM BATTERIES DON'T BELONG IN THE TRASH:
🔥 Lithium Batteries Don’t Belong in the Trash
Today, Waynesboro refuse crews experienced another trash truck fire caused by an improperly discarded lithium battery. This was the third battery-related trash truck fire this summer.
During today's incident, the crew had to dump the truck's load onto the roadway to prevent the fire from spreading and potentially damaging the truck. Thankfully, our employees acted quickly, and no one was injured.
⚠️ Please never place lithium-ion or rechargeable batteries in your household trash.
When batteries are crushed inside a collection truck, they can ignite and cause dangerous fires that put our employees, collection vehicles, and our community at risk.
Instead, please:
🔋 Take batteries to an approved battery recycling location.
🔋 Tape exposed battery terminals and store batteries separately in a cool, dry location until they can be recycled.
🔋 Bring them to the City's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on Saturday, September 12, at 900 Essex Avenue.
Lithium-ion batteries are commonly found in:
• Cell phones
• Laptops
• Power tools
• Cameras
• Toys
• E-cigarettes
• Other rechargeable devices
Please help protect our refuse employees, collection vehicles, and our community by disposing of batteries properly.
When in doubt, keep it out of the trash.
