Recycling in New Britain: A Local Guide

New Britain, Connecticut has two distinct recycling options depending on what you need to dispose of. Feigenbaum & Nair Scrap Metal Processing at 605 South Street has purchased ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal from the greater Hartford area since 1925, making it one of the longest-operating scrap yards in central Connecticut.

Hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM — the yard is closed on weekends.
