Town Garage on the first Saturday of each month between 9:00 A.M. and noon.

Do you know that your curbside recycling bin may include more than catalogs, magazines, and newspapers? During this past year newly acceptable material for curbside pickup include office/school paper, junk mail, newspaper inserts and non metallic wrapping paper. Flattened gray board boxes: cereal, cracker, cookie boxes, etc. which do not have waxed or foil interiors and which have cellophane removed may also go into your bin for weekly pickup. Mixed paper and gray board boxes can be placed in a brown paper grocery bag along with your newspapers. The flattened gray board boxes can also be bundled with corrugated cardboard. You may also continue to bring these items, along with white paper, to the Town Garage on the first Saturday of each month between 9:00 A.M. and noon. The North Branford Recycling Center is located across from the Public Works Building on Forest Road in North Branford. When visiting the recycling center you will notice a special bin, labeled for phone books only. It is found outside the Paper Recycling Center.
