About Recycling

Each one of Connecticut's 3 million citizens generates about one ton of trash each year. While most of this garbage was historically dumped into solid waste landfills, 100% of all MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) aka trash and garbage, is now burned at waste-to-energy facilities. This method reduces the amount of landfill space required by 90% but landfills for ash are quickly running out of space. Disposal of trash is one of the single most expensive line items in the Town's budget. It is imperative that we diligently reduce, reuse and recycle our trash - bot for ourselves and our children.

For Greenwich residents, pitching in is easy. Since the recycling of many items became a Connecticut state law in 1991, Greenwich has been a leader in implementing innovative and creative recycling programs. The Town's four part program consists of:

• Blue bin curbside pickup
• Mixed paper backyard pickup
• Recycling drop off at Holly Hill Transfer Station
• Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Day in the spring at Greenwich High School and neighboring communities.

This program is not only simple to follow, it is also highly effective. Beyond what the law requires, other materials brought to the Holly Hill Resource Recovery Facility are moved out to be recycled - and reused.
