Seniors, recycling and hazardous waste

The center is run by Enviro Express under contract with the town. Its operator opens bags at random to make sure trash holds no recyclables, as the town's recycling ordinance requires. 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.
