Residents new to Albany need to know that the City of Albany has a program for disposing of environmentally-toxic materials, such as batteries, turpentine and cleaning products (see the list below for more examples). Rather than disposing of these chemicals with your regular household garbage, the City of Albany has instituted Household Hazardous Waste Days during which Albany residents can drop off their environmentally-hazardous household waste at the Albany landfill on Rapp Road.
Only the residents of the City of Albany are eligible to participate in this program. Pre-registration is required by calling toll- free at 1-800-494-CARE (2273). The remaining Household Hazardous Waste Days are scheduled on the following dates-- all Thursdays--from 4 to 7 PM at the Albany Rapp Road Landfill:
• July 9
• August 6
• September 3
• October 1
• November 5
• December 3
