• Front Door Household Hazardous Waste Collection Service: Batavia residents can schedule a front door pickup of household hazardous waste by calling U.S. Ecology at 866-373-8357 between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday or by sending an E-mail to curbside@usecology.com. Participation is limited to about 22 households per month and will be available only to residents within the Batavia City limits. The program is funded by a fee collected from Batavia’s refuse contractor, so there is no direct fee to the resident. Residents may be placed on a waiting list if all slots are full for a particular month. Once an appointment has been finalized, a 30-gallon bag and kit with labels and instructions will be mailed to the resident. Maximum allowable weight per collection is 70 pounds. Residents are encouraged to work with their neighbors whenever possible to fill the collection bag to the 70-pound limit. Residents can schedule one home collection per year to dispose items
