Recycling centers in Stamford

The Katrina Mygatt Recycling Center is Stamford's municipal recycling and refuse drop-off site at 130 Magee Avenue, open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It accepts recycling, garbage, and yard waste from vehicles with residential passenger plates; commercial vehicles, pickups, cars with trailers, and rental trucks must use the Scale House at 101 Harborview Avenue instead. The site also runs a Take It or Leave It Shop and a Book Swap where residents can drop off and pick up reusable household goods and books.

The listing names an O&G facility at 52 Pulaski St, but the operator’s official site does not confirm this branch, public intake, hours or accepted materials. Contact O&G before sending visitors.

Container service for industrial customers is a specialty at Rubino Brothers Inc, a locally and family owned scrap yard in Stamford, Connecticut. Scales are calibrated regularly, and customers call ahead for guidelines before filling a container. Spanish is spoken at the counter. The yard accepts all grades of ferrous metal, including steel, stainless, carbon and mild steel, cast iron, and wrought iron, and buys non-ferrous brass, copper, tin, and aluminum. Lead, car batteries, and electric motors are taken too, and non-ferrous pickup is available. Junk cars are bought, and commercial pickups are arranged. A second yard operates on Factory Street in Derby.

Stamford's municipal transfer station, known as the Scale House, is run by the city's Recycling and Sanitation department at 101 Harbor View Avenue. Residents holding a Stamford Dump Permit dump the first 200 pounds per day free. The permit is issued at the Scale House against a Stamford-registered passenger vehicle registration, or against a utility bill at a Stamford address plus the registration when the vehicle is registered elsewhere. Garbage, recycling, and yard waste are taken Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Commercial vehicles, trailers, and rental trucks use this Scale House rather than the Katrina Mygatt Recycling Center on Magee Avenue. Freon appliances and tires carry set fees. Chemicals, hazardous waste, liquids, and oil-based paint are refused.
