Please do not leave your recycled oil at the Town Hall Building at 22 South Road. Oil may be dropped off at the new garage building at the transfer station at 12 Welsh Road off Mountain Road. Oil should be in clean containers with contents and resident's name clearly marked on the container. Please keep oil clean - no antifreeze, water or debris. All #2 plastic oil bottles must be recycled. They should be drained as much as possible and placed in cans and bottle containers. Please do not leave any containers of any sort at the transfer station gate by the road. Any questions, please contact the road crew or the Selectmen's Office. 

What's In What's Out

In Connecticut, the recycling process is governed by state laws that require "source separation," meaning that recyclables must be

kept separate from trash at the point of disposal. Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be recycled in Connecticut:

• Recyclable Items: Paper & Cardboard (newspapers, magazines, junk mail, clean pizza boxes), Plastic Bottles & Jugs (#1 & #2 only), Grass (banned from landfills) 
• Items Not Recyclable: Greasy pizza boxes, Tanglers (hoses, wires, holiday lights), Plastic Straws 
  It's important to note that not all plastics are recyclable, and items labeled #3-7 may not be accepted in your town. Always check your local guidelines for the most accurate information. Misconceptions about recycling can lead to contamination and wasted resources, so it's crucial to recycle correctly.
