New option for trash and recycling disposal

Your stinky trash is piling up in your garage and you missed that one, three-hour opportunity every one or two weeks when a hauler is parked at your community’s designated drop-off location to collect rubbish and recyclables.

The Addison County Solid Waste Management District (ACSWMD) has purchased land in New Haven that will host a new regional transfer station where folks will be able to bring their residential trash, recyclables and, eventually, household hazardous waste.
