Recycling in Plainville: A Local Guide
Plainville, Connecticut has two distinct recycling facilities on opposite ends of the material spectrum — a commercial transfer station that processes bulk recyclables and construction debris, and a third-generation scrap metal yard that buys all grades of metal from individual customers and industrial accounts.
CWPM LLC at 25 Norton Place operates one of three Connecticut DEEP-permitted volume reduction transfer stations the company runs across the state. The Plainville facility handles municipal solid waste, mixed paper and cardboard, commingled recyclables (#1 and #2 plastics, aluminum cans, glass), scrap metal, electronics, clean wood, construction and demolition debris, and scrap tires. CWPM is also the Town of Plainville's contracted bulk-waste hauler. Hours are Monday–Friday 6:00 AM–3:30 PM and Saturday 6:00 AM–10:30 AM. The facility primarily serves municipalities and commercial accounts; residential drop-offs are possible but call (860) 747-1335 first.
Just down the road, HW Green Co at 276 South Washington Street is a full-service scrap metal recycler with over 40 years in business. Women-owned and third-generation, the yard pays market rates for all grades of ferrous and non-ferrous metal — from an individual's bag of copper pipe to a truckload of industrial scrap. Walk-in retail customers are welcome. Hours are Monday–Friday 7:00 AM–5:00 PM and Saturday 7:30 AM–1:00 PM. HW Green does not accept plastics, glass, electronics, or other non-metal household recyclables.
For electronics, paint, and household hard-to-recycle materials not handled by either Plainville facility, residents can contact the Connecticut DEEP's RecycleCT program or check nearby drop-off events. Neighboring communities like Bristol, Southington, and Berlin operate their own transfer stations for residents.
