Bloomfield Trash & Recycling

Bloomfield Trash & Recycling is the small recycling center off Bloomfield Ave that neighbors use when sorting out bottles, paper, cardboard and other common recyclables. Locals drop off household recyclables and sometimes take part in occasional special collections that pop up at centers like this. It’s the kind of place people swing by with a loaded trunk rather than leave at the curb.

Drive up to 800 Bloomfield Ave and look for a low-slung facility with pull-up lanes and an entrance booth where staff check vehicles-there’s usually a short line on weekend mornings. Recycling bins and bays sit within easy reach of most cars; glass, cans, paper and cardboard are handled at most town recycling centers, and some run periodic electronics or textile drop-offs. Expect to sort and carry items to the correct container yourself, with signage and arrows marking the bays, and be prepared to stop at a scale or kiosk on the way out if the site uses one. The site is practical rather than pretty: paved lots, roll-off containers, and the predictable hum of trucks during busy times.
