Corrugated Cardboard Recycling

Effective July 2022, the Town of Glastonbury receives a rebate of $20/ton for all clean, corrugated cardboard collected. Accordingly, community members are encouraged to dispose of cardboard materials using designated containers to help save tax dollars! 

Recycling Locations: 

Residents may dispose of clean, flattened, corrugated cardboard in 2 locations in Glastonbury:

1. GREEN container, located at the Transfer Station (2340 New London Tpke.)
2. BLUE satellite container, located in rear parking lot of Town Hall (2155 Main Street) - This container is available for RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY. Businesses/individuals with a high volume of cardboard should please take their materials to the Transfer Station.

Cardboard Recycling Guidelines

Please flatten the cardboard and remove all packaging/non-cardboard materials before depositing in the designated, labeled containers to minimize volume and associated transportation expenses. Any partial contamination invalidates credit for full container of cardboard. Thank you for your care in proper cardboard disposal.
