The Bristol Resource Recovery Facility, operating as Covanta Bristol, Inc., began commercial operation in May 1988 on an 18.2-acre site in Bristol, CT. The facility processes 650 tons per day of solid waste into 16.3 megawatts of renewable energy. The plant is owned and operated by Covanta Bristol Energy under a 30-year agreement with the 14 communities that are members of the Bristol Resource Recovery Policy Board, a consortium representing the towns of Berlin, Branford, Bristol, Burlington, Hartland, New Britain, Plainville, Plymouth, Prospect, Southington, Seymour, Warren, Washington and Wolcott. The towns have a combined population of about 300,000.

What should I know before contacting a waste company?
It helps to have a basic idea of what you need help with before reaching out. Knowing the type of waste, how much there is, and whether you need pickup, drop-off, or something more involved can make the conversation a lot easier.
What information should I have ready before asking for service?
It is helpful to know what kind of waste you have, about how much there is, and where the service is needed. If the job has a timeline, access issue, or special handling concern, that is good to mention too.
