DELHI, NY, September 2, 2026– Every year, regional partners for clean water and a healthy environment host a community hazardous waste collection day, known as Clean Sweep. Now in its 30th year, Clean Sweep provides a safe disposal venue by collecting chemicals and other materials which pose a threat to public health, water and the environment.
Clean Sweep is free to farmers in the eight NYC Watershed counties and free to all Delaware County household residents. Delaware County businesses, municipalities and county agencies are also invited to properly dispose of waste materials. Disposal services for businesses and municipalities are provided “at cost” with a cost estimate based on your itemized disposal list.
Register online at cleansweepdelaware.eventbrite.com by October 1st. If you prefer to register by phone call (607) 865-6474 between September 16th-October 1st, Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or register by email to CleanSweepDelaware@gmail.com. Have the following information ready: your name, address, a list of what you are bringing and how we can contact you. This public service is brought to you by the Delaware County Department of Public Works and the Watershed Agricultural Council (WAC), with funding from Delaware County, WAC, NYC DEP and NYS DEC.
