THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO EXCLUDE
YOUR PROPERTY FROM MOSQUITO SPRAYING:
Requests for designation of exclusion from mosquito spraying may be made by supplying the Town Clerk’s office with a
certified letter that provides your name, address, and phone number;
the names of all abutters; and indicates the program from which the exclusion is requested. Designations should be made prior to
March 1 of each year, and shall be effective from April 1 to March 31 of the following year.
Ground Applications: Boundaries or areas to be excluded from spraying shall be marked at least every fifty (50) feet by white
paper plates or other similar appropriate means. These markings
shall be made known to the person causing the application to be made, who shall be responsible for communicating the details of
this marking to those who will carry out the application.
The full text of regulation 333 CMR is available here.

Hopkinton Mercury Recovery Project
The Hopkinton Board of Health is working with
other town officials to offer Hopkinton residents
and businesses a central facility to dispose of
their household items that contain mercury.
Fluorescent bulbs may be returned during
business hours to Hitchings Hardware or Hopkinton
Lumber, where containers have been provided for
proper disposal. Ballasts, thermometers,
and thermostats, as well as all button cell
batteries from watches, cameras, calculators,
hearing aids, sneakers, "talking books"
and digital organizers may all be recycled at the
Board of Health in Town Hall during business
hours. Button batteries only may also
be recycled at the Wood St. Recycling Drop-off
center.
If you have any questions or comments you may
contact the Hopkinton Board of Health,
508-497-9725. You may also contact Tom
Drechsler with the Hopkinton Recycling
Committee, 508-435-6154 (evenings only please).
