DEEP and local agencies are working to contain several active fires across the state. Please avoid all affected State Parks and Forests, as well as the blue-blazed Mattabesett Trail. The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and portions of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are closed at this time. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at an 'extreme' level. More information about the current fire danger, burn ban and recommended safety measures can be found here

Solid Waste and Recycling
Reporting Forms

Filling in a form
Information regarding the origin, types, amounts, and destinations of Connecticut solid waste disposed and recycled is essential for state and local solid waste planning, assessment, and compliance assurance.  The reports submitted to the Connecticut DEEP by municipalities, solid waste collectors (haulers), and solid waste facilities pursuant to state statutes, regulations, and solid waste facility permit requirements are the primary sources of this data  and are used for a variety of purposes . 
 
Forms for reporting this information will be posted below as their web versions are developed.   If the form for your facility type has not yet been posted on this webpage, please use the most recent copy of the reporting form already provided to you.

The reporting forms are designed to both provide essential solid waste information, and be convenient for users to complete. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for improving a reporting form, need a copy of a reporting form that is not available below, please contact Paula Guerrera (860) 424-3334 at the DEEP Recycling Program.
