What the station won't take

Construction and masonry debris doesn't go to Oronoque Road: no toilets, sinks, tile, concrete, brick, stone, pavers, asphalt or roofing shingles, and no sheetrock, drywall or plaster. The city's page names two private transfer facilities, one in Milford and one in Bridgeport, that take those materials for a fee. Propane tanks aren't accepted either.

Paint goes to a PaintCare drop-off retailer. Household hazardous waste from the New Haven area goes to the Regional Water Authority's HazWaste Central, 90 Sargent Drive, New Haven, (203) 401-2712, open Saturday mornings from mid-May to the end of October. Lumber is fine as long as it's cut to 4-foot lengths.
