Put Saturday, November 15, 2025, on your calendar! If you have old pesticides, paint, batteries, cooking oil, drain openers, or automotive fluids this is when you can dispose of them 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Carteret County Health Dept, 3820 Bridges Street, MHC. Make sure the product is in the original container with a label attached, no mystery containers. Also, no explosives, ammunition or infectious, biological, or radioactive wastes. This collection day is a way for homeowners to safely clean out and dispose of any hazardous waste that may be in your house, garage, or storage building.
