The Town of Rocky Hill is encouraging all residents to increase the amount of recycling placed in your blue cart and reduce the amount municipal solid waste that is placed in your green trash cart. To that end, the Town will not be providing large trash carts to residents. Additionally, residents will only receive one trash cart per household. By eliminating food waste scraps, clothing, yard debris, and other miscellaneous items that can be disposed of at the Town Transfer Station, and not placed in your green trash cart, we can help the environment and dramatically reduce costs for disposal.
Moving forward, if your current trash cart needs to be replaced due to cracks, holes, broken wheels, or irreplaceable lids, the Sanitation Crew will remove the damaged cart and replace it with one medium 64-gallon cart - equivalent to 2 old fashioned metal cans. Any excess waste can be brought in plastic garbage bags to the Transfer Station during their regular hours of operation. Check the website for current hours at https://www.rockyhillct.gov/383/Transfer-Station.
With these new initiatives that will be implemented, the Town recognizes the inconveniences that will result with these changes. With your help and support, and all of us doing our part, we will be helping to save the environment and significantly reduce waste removal costs.
