Recycling

Westport uses single-stream recycling.

Key things to remember:

No plastic bags of any kind
Flatten all cardboard boxes
Packing material from boxes is trash

At the Transfer Station Recycling Center

Many items that are not recyclable in a residential bin may be recycled if brought to the Town of Westport Transfer Station located at 300 Sherwood Island Connector. Included are other metal goods such as barbecue grills (less tank), lawn mowers (less fuel/oil), metal yard furniture, and basically any other type of scrap or unwanted metal item.

Used motor oil, antifreeze, all household electronics, batteries of any type, and fluorescent bulbs can also be recycled at the Transfer Station Recycling Center.

Please refer to the Town of Westport recycling page for further details concerning recyclables and other disposal needs. Questions should be directed to the Department of Public Works at 203-341-1120.
