Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@devenshhw.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The waste is transported to our contracted vendor facility where it is sorted, processed, and disposed of according to federal and state regulations.

Usable paint can be given away on reuse groups. It can be treated as regular trash if dried completely from top to bottom. Use a Paint Calculator so you only buy how much paint you need. 

Alkaline batteries less than 10 years old no longer contain mercury and can be trashed. 

https://www.mass.gov/guides/massdep-mercury-information is a helpful resource for proper management of products (or spills) containing mercury

Your town’s Police Department should be contacted for assistance managing potentially explosive materials or items


Consult your local Transfer Station, Recycling Center, or Board of Health for disposal of flammable gas, fire extinguishers, compressed gas cylinders

Prescription medicines should not be flushed, they should be crushed and trashed or kept safe for a special collection, check Police Dept. for 24 hour collection containers or Drug Take Back Days for possible collection in your area.


Do not put Needles and syringes into recycling. Get a sharp medical container; call Nashoba Associated Boards of Health 978-772-3335.

Help with disposal options for hazardous products that require special handling.
