Hazardous waste
Derby residents may bring fluorescent bulbs, lead-acid batteries, and waste oil to the Transfer Station free of charge. The official Sanitation and Recycling page points other hazardous waste, including paint, pesticides, antifreeze, and chemicals, to the regional Household Hazardous Waste and paint collection schedule rather than to this Transfer Station.
