Newtown Recycling

Newtown Recycling is the local recycling center in Newtown, Connecticut that people bring household recyclables to instead of trash. Neighbors drop off small loads from cars, as well as larger stuff from trailers and trucks. It’s the kind of place used by anyone wanting to keep common recyclables out of the trash.

Many recycling centers like this have large outdoor bins and compactors for paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals, and often accept electronics or textiles through special programs-check what’s accepted before loading up. There is usually a small office or booth near the entrance and a scale for heavier loads, so expect to slow down when driving in and possibly stop to be weighed on the way out. The site typically looks industrial: bare pavement, fenced areas, signage, and a few traffic lanes for drop-offs. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, so lines and waiting can happen.
