Recycling
Click the link to review the 2012 Recycling Brochure.
Ellington uses single-stream recycling collection carts. The new recycling collection carts will make it easier to recycle more material. Residents can place all of their paper and mixed containers into the large blue cart. Place the cart within 2 feet of the road and 3 to 4 feet from obstructions. Recycling will be collected every other week. Click the link to view the 2012 Recycling Calendar. Recycling will be picked up on the shaded weeks.
