Recycling in Cheshire: A Local Guide
Cheshire, Connecticut has three recycling operations along its industrial corridor, each serving a distinct need. AJ Waste Systems and CCR&T LLC share the same facility at 22 Burton Drive and together handle the bulk of what Connecticut residents need to get rid of—furniture, appliances, electronics, construction debris, yard waste, tires, and cardboard. The Saturday residential window runs 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM and is open to all Connecticut residents, not just Cheshire households. Electronics up to seven items are accepted free; everything else is priced by weight starting at $50 for loads under 200 lbs. Cash only.
On the same campus, CCR&T LLC specifically processes construction and demolition debris—wood, drywall, concrete, and mixed renovation material—for both residential Saturday visitors and commercial contractors (Mon–Fri, 7 AM–3 PM). If you are doing a kitchen gut or adding a room, CCR&T is the destination. One important note: mattresses are not accepted at 22 Burton Drive under any program.
At the other end of the spectrum, Heavy Weight Inc at 110 Schoolhouse Road focuses on industrial-scale metal recovery—copper wire, aluminum, ferrous metals, and equipment dismantlement for manufacturing and contracting accounts. This is not a public drop-off; residents with household scrap should call AJ Waste Systems instead. For general recyclables like cans, bottles, and paper, Cheshire's curbside program handles weekly single-stream collection.
Nearby towns with additional recycling options include Wallingford, Meriden, Waterbury, and Naugatuck. The Connecticut recycling directory covers all 50+ towns in the state.
