Recycling in Enfield: A Local Guide
Enfield, Connecticut offers two distinct recycling services at opposite ends of the spectrum. At AAA Bottle Redemption Depot on 4 Niblick Road, residents can redeem CT-deposit plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and glass bottles Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM — no appointment needed, no quantity limit. Glass must arrive in boxes standing upright; plastic and aluminum should be bagged separately. The depot also supports community bottle drives with pre-counted bags and possible large-batch pickup for organizations.
For curbside single-stream recycling, USA Waste & Recycling at 555 Taylor Road operates the All American Materials Recovery Facility, an AI-powered sorting plant that has been processing recyclables from Connecticut households and businesses since 1974. The Taylor Road MRF handles plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, metals, and food waste — but it functions as a commercial and municipal-contract facility, meaning Enfield residents access it through a curbside pickup subscription rather than by driving materials directly to the site.
Enfield sits in Hartford County in north-central Connecticut, just south of the Massachusetts border. Residents with questions about curbside recycling service can reach USA Waste & Recycling at (800) 998-2984. For bottle returns, call AAA Bottle Redemption Depot at (860) 796-7798 — hours can shift seasonally, so calling ahead is recommended. Nearby recycling options in Connecticut include facilities in Windsor Locks, Suffield, East Windsor, and Somers.
