Hartford Recycling & Waste Management Center
All residents of the 12 member towns within our waste management district can use the Hartford facility with a valid permit or day pass (GUVSWMD and the Hartford transfer station are two separate waste management entities working in partnership). Certain materials that are not accepted at your local drop-off site may be accepted at the Hartford facility. To purchase a windshield permit sticker and/or punch card for the Hartford Recycling and Waste Management Center, visit your individual town clerk's office.
