Management of solid waste is among the primary environmental challenges facing Connecticut businesses. With the state’s nearly 400-year history of agricultural and industrial development, developers today routinely encounter old industrial fill or an abandoned farm dump. In manufacturing and industry, proper management and disposal of solid waste, recyclables and hazardous materials is a constant challenge. In locating and developing solid-waste facilities, recycling centers, transfer stations and landfills, careful planning is essential.
