Trash Collection

Curbside Trash Collection

The Town of Rocky Hill provides automated residential curbside trash collection through our contracted provider, Trash Away (860-225-1206).  Residential units are single family dwellings, multi-family dwellings of 4 or less units, and condominiums.  All commercial property owners, including businesses, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, motels, hotels, and apartment buildings are required to secure their own hauler for both solid waste and recycling.
