Today, after recycling pickup, our employees found a propane and air tank inside the recycling building.

Items like this can pose a serious safety hazard. A tank that is pressurized or improperly disposed of could explode, cause a fire, or seriously injure or even kill someone.

Our employees come to work expecting to go home safely. Please take a moment to learn what does NOT belong in your recycling bin and properly dispose of hazardous or pressurized containers through the appropriate channels. Please DO BETTER!

Your recycling is not worth someone’s life.

♻️ When in doubt, leave it out and check your local disposal guidelines. https://recyclect.org/

Many of our residents are still affected by the July 4th storms. United Way 211 and multiple volunteer agencies are working with the state to better organize and assist residents still affected by the storm.

There is a form from United Way 211 that allows residents to report their needs for assistance. You can access the form from the link below or through the QR code in the image.

While our volunteer agencies may not be able to assist with every request, they have capabilities that might meet individual needs for storm-related clean up. Check out the form to see whether the resources you need are available.

To stay up to date in the event of future emergencies, sign up for CT Alerts by texting “CTAlert” to 888-777

Reminder, Bristol Residents! 🌿🚫♻️

Please do not place yard waste in your recycling barrel.

Grass clippings, leaves, branches, weeds, and other yard waste are not accepted in Bristol's curbside recycling program. Putting these materials in recycling barrels can contaminate recyclable materials and create processing issues.

Instead, please use the City's designated yard waste collection program or take yard waste to the appropriate drop-off location, following Bristol's seasonal guidelines. https://bristolct.seamlessdocs.com/f/yardwaste2026
