Active Landfills: An Explanation

The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) maintains a record of all landfills in the state that are currently accepting waste. These are active landfills.

In the entire state, there are 52 landfills that are currently permitted to accept waste. These active landfils include municipal trash, bulky waste, sludge, incinerator ash, and industrial landfills.

This list comes from the Connecticut DEP list of Active landfill sites which was last revised in April 1999.
