Recycling Center
Newington Town Landfill And Recycle Center
2045 Main St, Newington, CT 06111
Small-town recycling center that local residents use to keep stuff out of the trash and heading for reuse or processing. Busy on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, it’s the kind of place people from Newington drop by with bags of recyclables or a truckload of cardboard.
Pull up to an entrance booth area where attendants usually direct vehicles; there’s a short drive in and places to pull up close to the drop-off bins. Expect rows of large outdoor containers for things like paper, cardboard, glass, metal and many plastics - common items most recycling centers accept. Trucks and trailers are common, and lines can form on nice mornings, so be prepared to wait a bit. The site looks like a working yard: paved lanes, big roll-off bins, and signs marking the different material piles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Load materials so they’re easy to unload first-cardboard flattened and boxes broken down saves time when it’s your turn.
- Bring help for heavy items; getting bulky bundles out of a truck bed on an inclined pavement is harder than it looks.
- Visit on a weekday morning if possible to avoid the weekend rush during spring and fall cleanups.
