Martinsville civic alerts list a Household Hazardous Waste Day for Saturday, April 18, 2026, with collection scheduled from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Bassett Service Center.
The city notice says the event is aimed at safe disposal of materials such as paints, solvents, fuels, auto fluids, batteries, electronics, and limited paper-shredding drop-off, while excluding items like TVs, tires, and compressed gas cylinders.
For households across Martinsville and Henry County, the near-term impact is operational: spring cleanup plans can be shifted into this single no-cost municipal collection window instead of using standard disposal channels for each material type.
City guidance indicates weather is not expected to cancel the event, but residents should still verify acceptable-material rules before arrival to avoid turned-away loads at check-in.
