Crud Cruiser

Crud Cruiser will return on in 2024 at the Meadow Park Athletic Complex, 3200 Meadow Park Dr. Please note, the event is weather permitting and may end early, if the trailer reaches capacity.

Bedford residents can properly dispose of household hazardous waste and electronic waste at Crud Cruiser! Crud Cruiser mobile collection trailers come once a year to Bedford to collect household hazardous waste; however, the capacity of the Crud Cruiser is limited, so the event may end earlier than advertised. The event may also be canceled in the event of rain. On the day of the event, please do not leave household hazardous waste and chemicals unattended in the parking lot.
