New Holly Hill Facility Entrance Permit Required Beginning July 1

GREENWICH, CT — Beginning July 1, according to the Department of Public Works, Greenwich residents are required to prominently display the new Holly Hill Resource Recovery Facility entrance permit. Permit sales began on June 7.

For a fee of $25, residential permit holders have access to disposing of all accepted materials -- including municipal solid waste (MSW), recycling, organic waste and bulky waste -- at the Holly Hill facility for the entire year.

To align with the Town of Greenwich’s fiscal year, the permit can be used between July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Due to the time it takes for the permit to be delivered through mail, it is recommended that residents purchase their permits ahead of time online here. Residents can purchase a pass any time of the day.

According to a news release from DPW, over 7,500 waste disposal permits were sold during the 2020-2021 year. An option to apply for an application by mail is also available. All vehicles -- both commercial and residential -- must prominently display the new disposal permit in order to enter the Holly Hill Facility. No waste from outside of Greenwich is allowed.

To help staff and ensure the traffic will flow more smoothly, the Town of Greenwich is kindly asking that residents show their permit when visiting the Holly Hill Resource Recovery Facility. Permits can easily be displayed by hanging the tag on the rearview mirror of the car.

Residents can purchase a pass any time of the day through the Public Works section of the greenwichct.gov website. Proceeds from the permit passes help support the Town of Greenwich and the cost it takes to dispose of all materials.

“Every little bit helps the environment -- take advantage of the food scrap recycling program, as well as other recycling opportunities at the facility,” DPW said in a news release.

The Holly Hill Resource Recovery Facility is located on 4 Holly Hill Ln. and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.
