Most construction and cleanout debris is fine to load. The limits come from Connecticut's recycling law and from what the receiving facility will take.
Connecticut bans several items from disposal outright. Televisions, monitors, printers, and computers are out, along with lead acid and motor vehicle batteries and grass clippings. Paint, mattresses, gas cylinders, tires, and mercury thermostats run through separate statewide programs, so they don't belong in a mixed load either.
Scrap metal, appliances, rechargeable batteries, waste oil, and leaves each have their own route as well. Hazardous waste, liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can never go in a standard dumpster.
Norwich takes many of these items at its own drop-off site, and the regional authority runs one-day household hazardous waste collections around southeastern Connecticut that any Norwich resident can use. Those collections run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
