Frequently Asked Questions — Recycling in Torrington
What is the recycling schedule in Torrington, CT?
The City of Torrington collects single-stream recycling in 96-gallon blue carts every other week via its contracted hauler. Your specific collection day depends on your street; look it up on the City's website (torringtonct.org / torringtonct.gov) under curbside recycling. After a holiday, collections run one day behind for the rest of that week.

Can I get my deposit back on bottles and cans in Torrington?
Yes. Connecticut's bottle bill now charges a 10-cent deposit on most beverage containers, which you reclaim at a redemption center such as the Torrington Redemption Center on Baeder St, rather than through curbside recycling. Check that center's page for accepted container types and hours.
Does Torrington recycle tires and electronics?
The City of Torrington has a tire recycling program and points residents to Connecticut DEEP's statewide electronics collection program for TVs and computers, since those are not part of regular curbside recycling. See the City's tire recycling and recycling information pages, or ct.gov DEEP, for current drop-off details.
