Note. County page does not give the center's own address (only the office at 122 Commercial Ave), so the state record address (160 Commercial Ave) is not confirmed there. The page carries time-sensitive notes: the online store was temporarily unavailable, and payment was cash or check only on a specific November date during a system update. A household hazardous waste event requires a permit and appointment.
