Hazardous waste
The official 2026 Residential Recycling Schedule lists a fall Household Hazardous Waste collection at the Torrington Water Resource Recovery Facility, 252 Bogue Road, Harwinton, CT, on October 24, 2026, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. That official 2026 date has already passed as of November 12, 2026. Confirm any later official date with the City. Paint recycling is directed to PaintCare. A propane and gas-cylinder collection bin is at the Transfer Station next to food scraps, per the official Recycling Information page.
Holiday closures
No dated holiday list for the Municipal Transfer Recycling Facility appears on the fetched official WPCA or Recycling Information pages. The official 2026 Residential Recycling Schedule holiday list (New Year's Day Thursday January 1, Memorial Day Monday May 25, Labor Day Monday September 7, Thanksgiving Day Thursday November 26, and Christmas Day Friday December 25, 2026) is titled "NO Trash or Recycle Collection" and is a curbside-collection list; it was not applied as recycling-facility hours. A separate official WPCA Hours of Operation block for the Water Resource Recovery Facility lists Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and says that facility is open 365 days per year, including holidays. Those plant hours differ from the recycling drop-off hours printed on the same official WPCA page and on the official Recycling Information page, so the 365-day plant statement was not applied as recycling drop-off hours. Confirm with the WPCA at (860) 485-9166 or (860) 485-9167 before a holiday week.

- Official address wording differs by source. The official WPCA contact block lists 252 Lower Bogue Road, Torrington, CT 06790. The official 2026 calendar's already-passed Household Hazardous Waste listing uses "252 Bogue Road Harwinton CT." The official Recycling Information page refers to the Transfer Station on Bogue Road without a street number. All three official wordings are shown here; confirm the entrance with the WPCA.
- Recycling drop-off hours above are the hours printed for the Municipal Transfer Recycling Facility on the official WPCA page, for the cardboard dumpster and cylinder collection on the official Recycling Information page, and for daily electronics collection at the Water Resource Recovery Facility on the official 2026 calendar.
- The official Recycling Information page also lists a flattened-cardboard dumpster during those regular hours, and a propane and gas-cylinder collection (small cylinders in the barrel; larger cylinders outside the barrel but inside the caged area). Official typo on that page: "We are please to announce."
- The official WPCA page also notes RV holding-tank disposal at the facility.
- (860) 489-2232 is the City recycling-coordinator number on the official Recycling Information page. (860) 485-9166 and (860) 485-9167 are the WPCA / Water Resource Recovery Facility business numbers.
