Where Is the Dump

Plan your drop-off

Dumps & landfills in Connecticut

Connecticut has no county government, so dumping is handled town by town. Most transfer stations are open to that town's residents only, with a permit, sticker or proof of address, and many charge by weight or by item for bulky waste. Hours, permit rules and fees live on each town's website, so check the town before you drive. Larger cities such as Stamford, Hartford and Manchester block automated lookups, so their entries are basic listings.

State rules to know

Electronics

Covered electronic devices (TVs, monitors, computers, printers) from households are banned from disposal in Connecticut solid waste facilities and must be recycled. Official rule ↗

Banned from disposal

Grass clippings and lead-acid (vehicle) batteries are banned from disposal in Connecticut. Items under stewardship programs (electronics, paint, mattresses, mercury thermostats, gas cylinders, tires) must be recycled through those programs. Official rule ↗

Mattresses

The state mattress program lets participating towns offer free mattress recycling. Town participation is voluntary, so some transfer stations still charge a fee; ask the station first. Official rule ↗

Household hazardous waste is generally not accepted at town transfer stations. Residents use regional collection events or the HazWaste Central facility in New Haven; check the town or regional authority for dates.
