Transfer Station

Berlin Municipal Transfer Station

19 Town Farm Ln, Berlin, CT 06037, United States

A small-town transfer station used by Berlin residents who need to drop off household trash and broken-down bulky items. Most people from town swing by here instead of driving way out to a distant landfill. The place handles loads that get compacted and then trucked offsite.

Pull up to a manned entrance booth near the driveway where vehicles line up on busy days. The yard looks industrial - concrete tipping areas, compactors and large roll-off containers; recycling bins are typically grouped to one side. Vehicles are usually weighed and loads consolidated before leaving, so there’s a short holding area for outgoing trucks. Weekends and spring cleanup can have a line, while weekday mornings are generally quieter.

Before You Go

  • Have your materials sorted by type before arriving so unloading goes faster and nobody has to rehandle your stuff.
  • Many Connecticut towns require a transfer station permit or proof of residency, so bring whatever town-issued ID or permit applies to Berlin or your own town.
  • Expect to be weighed and charged by weight at most transfer stations in the state; bring a tarp or straps to secure loose loads and keep the truck bed neat to speed things along.
