Books
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. There is also "GOT BOOKS" bin to recycle books
(not textbooks) and CDs.

Free Recycle Bin for new residents
Welcome to North Branford!
New residents in our town will be receiving a post card/coupon from
the North Branford Hazardous Waste and Recycling Committee. This will
entitle them to a gift of a new recycling bin for their home. Along with
the bin will come a packet of information outlining activities and resources
in the community of North Branford and the recycling programs we offer.
The staff of volunteers is looking forward to greeting their new neighbors
at the North Branford Recycling Center where they may redeem their coupon
for the bin. The center is open on the first Saturday of each month from
9 am to noon. It is located on Forest Road across from the North Branford
