Hazardous waste
Antifreeze, waste oil, car batteries, electronics, and fluorescent light bulbs are listed as no charge on the official fee schedule. The fetched Solid Waste and Recycling page does not describe a separate household hazardous waste drop-off at this site. Confirm specialty items at (860) 447-5248.
Holiday closures
The official Solid Waste and Recycling page's Holiday Collection Schedule is a curbside delay list (collection delayed one day following the listed holidays, with Friday pickup moved to Saturday). Named holidays include Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, with no years. That curbside list is not applied here as Transfer Station hours. The official fee-schedule hours do say the site is also open Saturdays after holidays, in addition to the first Saturday of the month. Confirm with Public Works at (860) 447-5248 before a holiday week.
