Southeastern Connecticut Regional Resource Recovery Authority (SCRRRA)

The Southeastern Connecticut Regional Resources Recovery Authority (SCRRRA) serves twelve municipalities, including East Lyme, Groton, and Norwich, providing waste management and recycling services. SCRRRA offers household hazardous waste collection events, allowing residents to safely dispose of hazardous materials and participate in free confidential paper shredding. The 2025 Household Hazardous Waste collection schedule is available, with a new limit of seven boxes for paper shredding. Additionally, SCRRRA is involved in initiatives like the Connecticut Organics Recycling Law, which mandates businesses generating over 26 tons of food waste annually to recycle it. The authority has also been awarded a $4.5 million grant from CT DEEP for materials management infrastructure. For specific recycling and disposal options, residents can select their town on the SCRRRA website or mobile app.
