This Weekend: Hazardous Waste Drop-Off, Lacrosse Clinics, Pottery, and a Classic Film

Saturday, November 7, is a busy day around town. The household hazardous waste drop-off runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Brookfield High School on Long Meadow Hill Road, a chance to clear out old paints, chemicals, and other household materials that do not belong in regular trash.

Also Saturday, Brookfield Lacrosse Club holds fall clinics from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. at Cadigan Park. The clinics are open to young players looking to learn the game or sharpen skills before the spring season.

Saturday evening turns creative at The Pottery Factory on Federal Road, where a holiday stained glass workshop runs from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. It is a hands-on way to start holiday making a few weeks early.

Sunday, November 8, starts with a practical skill: an adult, child, and infant CPR, AED, and first aid class runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Room 133 at Brookfield Town Hall on Pocono Road.

Sunday afternoon, the Brookfield Library screens the 1956 classic "The King and I" as its movie matinee, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the library on Whisconier Road. It is a relaxed way to close the weekend, and the library's Sunday hours make it an easy stop.

If you are heading to the drop-off, sort materials before you load the car and keep them in their original containers where possible. For the pottery workshop and the CPR class, both run on fixed schedules, so arriving a few minutes early is the safe move.
