Killingly Recycling Center on Brickhouse Road in Danielson is the town recycling drop-off where locals bring their sorted stuff. Neighbors and residents from Killingly and nearby towns use it to keep recyclables out of the trash and heading elsewhere for processing.
The site looks like a modest municipal collection point - a driveway off 246 Brickhouse Rd leading to several large containers and sorting bays. Expect to pull up, unload into clearly marked bins for paper, cardboard, glass, and metal, and to separate any special items into their own piles; many centers in Connecticut also handle electronics, bulky items, or have seasonal paint or textile collection programs. There’s typically a small office or booth near the entrance where permits or questions are handled, and weekends can be noticeably busier during spring cleanup and fall leaf season.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items already sorted by material and in manageable loads so unloading goes quickly for the person behind you.
- Have a town transfer station permit or ID ready if the town requires one - many Connecticut towns do require permits for station use.
- Avoid peak times like Saturday mornings when lines and tight parking make maneuvering larger loads harder.
