As a resident of Barkhamsted, New Hartford or Winsted/Winchester, the choice is YOURS to make in how you handle your weekly kitchen trash and recyclables. You can hire a private contractor to pick up your debris and recyclables or if you prefer, you can save money and transport your kitchen trash and single stream recyclables to RRDD1 for ONE low sticker price. Stickers (membership) are available at the entrance gatehouse during regular daytime hours, 7:00 AM until 3:00 PM.
On Wednesday Nights from 4 pm to 7 pm Residents without an RRDD1 Sticker may drop off Recyclables ONLY.
In order to drop Trash on Wednesday nights you MUST have an RRDD1 permit.
Main Level
Straight ahead from the gatehouse takes you to the main level trash compactors (for everyday kitchen food waste), followed by single stream recycling and around the corner residents can drop off their electronics, paint, light bulbs, small metal and used motor oil for recycling.
C&D / Oversized MSW (up the hill)
Turning left at the gatehouse takes you up the hill to the scale area, where your vehicle containing your construction & demolition debris, oversized municipal solid waste (kids' toys, furniture, rugs, etc.), or yard trimmings is weighed in and out.
