Trash Dump Rapid (aka Recycling Station or Recycler)

This is a long rapid starting just around the bend past the route 101 bridge. The top of the rapid has a nice play spot. Eddy out on river right behind a 1' ledge. Here there is a hole turning more into a wave towards river center. The rest of the rapid picks along the rocks as it passes the Wilton recyling center on your right.

Note Re: rapid name.  The historical name has always been "Trash Dump Rapid" and will be found in older publications, web sites, etc. Once the Wilton town dump changed to a recycling center people have started referring to this rapid as "Recycler". This refers to the physical location next to the recycling center, and NOT to a river feature that paddlers should be aware of.

While there are holes and waves in this rapid, there are no dangerous hydraulics.  However further downstream, just below Horseshoe Rapid there is a dam that *DOES* contain a hydraulic and generally should be portaged.
