Putnam County sponsors two annual hazardous waste pickups which must be used for the disposal of hazardous wastes, cell phones, televisions, and computers. The County will publicize the dates of the collections in the local newspapers and on the Putnam Couty website. These dates will also be posted on the announcements page of the Town of Patterson website. You may also contact the Putnam County Health Dept. at 845-278-6130 for more information.
