Recycling Facility (211 Murphy Road Hartford)

The Recycling Facility sits on approximately a 9-acre site which also includes an operating rail spur, a scale house and two 70-foot platform truck scales.  The Recycling Facility is a 64,800 square foot building that includes approximately 1,500 square feet for a locker room/lunch room area and an office area.  An attached building (not included in the 64,800 square feet) includes additional administrative office space and an inactive former recycling museum.

The Recycling Facility was developed in 1991 and began operations in 1992 as an intermediate processing center for recyclable bottles & cans. The Recycling Facility was upgraded in 2006 to incorporate dual stream paper and bottles & cans.  Single-stream processing equipment was added in 2008.

Existing single stream equipment at the Recycling Facility overlays prior dual-stream processing equipment.  As such, there are two input points for material to enter into the sorting line.  The primary input has been used for single stream deliveries (commingled paper, cardboard, comingled glass, metal and plastic delivered all in one load) as well as any separate deliveries of paper or cardboard.  There is also a bypass input which can accommodate the delivery of clean dual-stream bottles and cans (commingled glass, metal and plastic containers delivered separately from paper and cardboard).

Processing operations at the facility ceased in May 2021 following selection of a proposal to conduct recycling transfer operations at the facility in lieu of a proposed facility redevelopment.  The facility then ran as a transfer operation and has now been vacated by the transfer operator effective July 1, 2023.  The facility was fully functional when processing operations ceased and the Authority maintains the necessary operating permits issued by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
