Recycling centers in Preston

Jordan's Recycling in Preston, CT is part of Connecticut Scrap Metal, a multi-location scrap metal recycling company serving southeastern Connecticut and Rhode Island. They purchase both ferrous and nonferrous materials, junk cars, trucks, and trailers, and offer dumpster and roll-off container rental. For weighing scrap and junk cars, customers are directed to the Yerrington's location at 655 Norwich Westerly Road, North Stonington, CT.

The Preston Transfer Station at 108 Ross Road is open to permanent Preston residents only, Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., and every vehicle must display a Transfer Station sticker. Attendants issue the sticker on site against a vehicle registration with a Preston address. Bagged household trash and bulky waste go in for disposal. Recycling covers clean bottles, cans and foil, number 1 and 2 plastic jugs, flattened cardboard and mixed paper, plus a food scrap program with free starter kits for sticker holders. Gas cylinders are recycled free through The Cylinder Collective. Batteries, electronics, mattresses, scrap metal, tires, paint, propane tanks and appliances go through the attendant. Leaves and brush are refused and belong at the Public Works Department on Route 2.

This address is SCRRRA’s proposed composting site, not a confirmed public transfer station. SCRRRA’s 2024 notice described a planned facility for food waste and wood chips at 132 Military Highway in Preston and said CT DEEP permit approval was pending. No later official operating status was located, so public intake is unconfirmed. SCRRRA’s current office contact is in Gales Ferry.
