Waste Disposal & Recycling
TRASH : RECYCLING : HOLLY HILL
What is Trash?
The definition of trash is “a worthless material to be disposed of as in refuse and
rubbish”. In Greenwich, we Recycle many things that you might think are trash.
Read the "Non-Trash Recyclables" list at the link below before discarding items in the trash.
Non-Trash Recyclables for Greenwich Residents
RESIDENTIAL & BUSINESS TRASH
Residents can bring trash and garbage (and recyclables) to the Holly Hill
Resource Recovery Facility (transfer station). You will need a vehicle dumping
permit decal which can be obtained at no charge at the Holly Hill scale house
by showing proof of residency and car ownership.
Trash Collection
Residents and business owners are responsible to separate the waste generated - not
the refuse collector. The Town encourages residents and businesses to communicate
directly with their collector concerning special arrangements or clarification of
services provided for removal of refuse and recyclables. In the event that further
assistance is required, please contact the Waste Disposal Division.
Licensed collectors are allowed to remove trash and discarded materials
(including recyclables) between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Both residences
and businesses must comply with requirements regarding separation and proper
storage of discarded materials.
Trash Disposal
After all the recyclables
have been removed, the rest is taken to a local waste-to-energy
facility. The trash is incinerated at high temperature and converted to electricity.
The remaining materials go to the ash landfill. All of Connecticut's MSW (trash)
is incinerated for 1% of Connecticut's total energy needs.
