Next Week in Brookfield: Election Day, a Deadline, and a Hazardous Waste Drop-Off

Next week is one of the most consequential of the year in Brookfield, and it starts with a deadline. Here is what is on the calendar from Monday, Nov. 2, through Sunday, Nov. 8.

Monday, Nov. 2, is a day for Town Hall business. The Board of Selectmen meets at Town Hall, waterline assessment bills are due at the Tax Collector's Office in Town Hall, and the state's energy assistance program begins fuel deliveries for the season. If a waterline assessment bill is sitting on the counter at home, Monday is the day to settle it.

Tuesday, Nov. 3, is Election Day. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. District 1 votes at Candlewood Lake Elementary School, and Districts 2 and 3 vote at Brookfield High School. Voters who are unsure of their district can check the state's voter lookup. Nine offices are on the ballot, all vote-for-one, and there are no town offices or ballot questions this year. Early voting ends Sunday, Nov. 1, for anyone who would rather vote before Tuesday.

Saturday, Nov. 7, has two practical events. The household hazardous waste drop-off runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Brookfield High School, 45 Long Meadow Hill Road — a chance to clear out paints, chemicals, and other materials that do not belong in regular trash. Lacrosse fall clinics run from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Cadigan Park.

Sunday, Nov. 8, closes the week with an Adult, Child & Infant CPR/AED/First Aid class from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Room 133 at Brookfield Town Hall.

The full calendar, with details as they are confirmed, is on the Current's Events page.
