Green Day
Next date: Saturday, November 15, 2025 | 08:00 AM
to 12:00 PM
Morrisville Fall Green Day is Saturday, Nov. 15. Green Day gives community members a chance to recycle items that cannot be placed in residential recycling and to safely dispose of hazardous or sensitive materials.
Participants can visit several stations for recycling and safe disposal. Town staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist. Drivers are urged to move slowly through the stations, as there will be foot traffic and volunteers directing vehicles. Those needing additional help should pull into a parking spot and turn off their engines to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Washers, dryers, ovens, refrigerators, and pianos are not accepted.
Green Day is sponsored by thePublic Works Department, theSustainability Program, and theMorrisville Environment and Stormwater Committee. They are held each spring and fall.

HTI accepts old laptops, computers, printers, and computer equipment. In order to be accepted, old laptops must be able to turn on and off, must have a power cord, and must have a hard drive for the Google Chrome install.
