LEARN ABOUT THE CROTON WATERSHED
The Croton system is the oldest of three water supply systems that together deliver nearly 1 billion gallons of drinking water to New York City each day. The Croton system covers an area that is entirely east of the Hudson River, primarily located in Westchester and Putnam Counties, and partially in Dutchess County and Connecticut.

CLEAN SWEEP 2022
Every year, regional partners for clean water and a healthy environment host a community hazardous waste collection day, known as Clean Sweep. Now in its 26th year, Clean Sweep provides a safe disposal venue by collecting chemicals and other materials which pose a threat to public health, water and environment.

Clean Sweep is free to farmers in the eight watershed counties and free to all Delaware County household residents. Delaware County businesses, municipalities and county agencies are also invited to properly dispose of waste materials. Disposal services for businesses and municipalities are provided “at cost” with a cost estimate based on your itemized disposal list.

Clean Sweep 2022 schedule is:
  • Businesses & Municipalities: Friday, October 7th from 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
  • Farmers: Friday, October 7th from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m.
  • Residents: Saturday, October 8th from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
