Recycling Programs

New Haven Recycling

City of New Haven residential recycling collections are performed on "A" week.

SINGLE STREAM RECYCLING HAS COME TO NEW HAVEN 

With single-stream recycling, you no longer have to sort your recyclables into two separate bins. New, convenient, yellow-top
Serv-All carts can handle all of your recyclables – including plastics
#1 through #7.

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE 

  • Call Serv-All at 747-4117 and they will deliver to your home one yellow-top container for recyclables
  • All recyclables are to be placed in this one container (no sorting is required)
  • Plastics #1 through #7 are accepted (look on the bottom of containers for numbers enclosed in recycling arrows)
  • Collection is every other week 
  • Place your recycling cart near your trash cart leaving a 3 foot space between the two
