Curbside Recycling

The Town of Wolcott encourages our residents to always think about our environment and to recycle whenever possible. Each household within the Town of Wolcott is responsible for properly recycling various materials, many of which can be put out at the curbside. If you need curbside recycling containers, they can be picked up at the Recycling Center Office. The following is a link to Curbside Trash & Recycling Pick-Up information.

Household Hazardous Waste Collections

Several times each year, the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG) sponsors Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collections. Because there are 15 towns within NVCOG, the locations of these collections change from year-to-year. However, as an NVCOG member town, Wolcott residents can go to any of these HHW collection events. In 2023, there are three HHW collection events: April 22 (Middlebury), July 22 (Oxford), and September 23 (Thomaston).
