Connecticut Solid Waste Disposal & Recycling Data

The Cover of the 2022 Solid Waste Disposal and Diversion Report

Released April 17, 2024 - 2022 Solid Waste Disposal & Diversion Report 

The 2022 Solid Waste Disposal & Diversion Report is intended to quantify the management of solid waste materials generated within the state of Connecticut during the 2022 calendar year. The report provides insight into current waste management practices, analyzes trends, and measures progress towards statutory waste reduction targets. This report provides statewide aggregates based primarily on data submitted by permitted solid waste facilities and transfer stations within the state and supplemented by municipal reporting.  

State law and regulations require solid waste and recycling data to be submitted to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) by municipalities and by permitted solid waste facilities via quarterly or annual reports. These facilities include, but are not limited to: transfer stations, resource recovery facilities, landfills, composting facilities, scrap metal facilities, recycling processing facilities, and C&D Volume Reduction Plants.
