The Walpole Board of Health has announced a new date and time for its annual household hazardous waste collection. On Saturday, July 25, from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., residents can bring hazardous materials to the Fisher School for disposal. Those dropping items off must stay in their car and wear a mask.
