Glastonbury Recycles!

Recycling helps our community, public health, and the environment and also helps save tax dollars!

Please do your part daily to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

What CAN be Recycled?

One of the biggest challenges with recycling is knowing which items actually belong in the trash or the recycling bin. Fortunately, the state of Connecticut has recently introduced a universal list outlining which items can and cannot be recycled called “What’s In” and What’s Out.”

What’s IN?

Visit www.recyclect.com to search by item.

Get Your Permit You can obtain your Refuse Disposal Permit at the Customer Service Center, (located in Town Hall), as well as the Transfer Station or Bulky Waste Facility. Fees can be found on the Waste Disposal Guidelines available online at www.glastonbury-ct.gov/recycle.

For Connecticut Recycling resources, please visit www.recyclect.com.

Town of Glastonbury Recycling Programs

General Recycling Residents may dispose of household recyclables (paper, cardboard, glass and plastic bottles, etc.), textiles, and leaves or grass at the Transfer Station. Permits are required for most items, excluding acceptable mattresses and electronics, which are recycled through the state of Connecticut Product Stewardship Program.

Bulky Waste Dispose of brush, stumps, and construction or demolition materials at the Bulky Waste Facility.

Compost Screened and unscreened compost and wood mulch are available seasonally at the Town’s recycling facilities.

Food Waste Food waste is the largest part of the waste stream and the least often recycled. To recycle this significant waste product and help save tax dollars, an enclosed container is available at the Transfer Station for discarding raw and prepared foods, coffee grounds, fats, and other food products. Food waste is converted into energy and, ultimately, a marketable, organic soil product.

Visit www.glastonbury-ct.gov/recycle for more information on the programs above.

NEVER...

˺˺ Put plastic bags in recycling bins ˺˺ Dispose of trash in satellite receptacles ˺˺ Drop pet waste bags in storm drains ˺˺ Dispose of Hazardous or toxic materials at the Transfer Station or trash receptacles

˺˺ Shred, box, bag, or bundle items to be recycled

Share these rules with peers.

Clean up after yourself & others.

Help keep Glastonbury beautiful.

If you see a community member making a recycling faux pas, please inform them of the correct way to dispose of the item. Take the time to properly dispose of your trash/recycling items when out and about in the community and when possible, find ways to help pick up after others to contribute to a cleaner Glastonbury.
