Can I use the blue recycling container for excess trash?

No. Please do not place any household waste in the recycling container, only recyclables should be placed in the blue container. If you need an additional refuse or recycling container, please contact Trash Away at 860-229-1164 for details. For those residents with excess recyclables, acceptable items may be brought to the Town Landfill during

regular operating hours.
