It’s mostly for certain types of glass, metal, plastic, newpaper, and cardboard. Recycling is good for the environment, and relieves you from having to take it somewhere yourself. In many towns however, you can take standard recycling items to a Recycling & Bulky Waste transfer station yourself. Please call your town to find out the location and cost for specific items.We have a variety of sizes: 6, 12, 20, and 30 yard capacity. The 6 yard container is top loading only, but the larger size containers, greater than 6 yards, all have a large swing door that opens the entire back to make loading easier.

Household hazardous waste, such as paint and motor oil poses a significant threat to the environment. Unfortunately, they can't be placed in your weekly collection barrel. Local, state, and federal regulations require that all hazardous waste be properly disposed of. Consult your city or town for collection sites and dates in your area.For most businesses, front-load containers are the most efficient system available today. Paine’s was among the first in Connecticut to implement this system.Perfect for construction sites and site clearing operations, Paine's portable grinding equipment is among the best in the industry.
