Bridgeport Transfer Station

Small transfer station used by Bridgeport residents and local haulers for dropping off household and construction debris. It’s the kind of place people go when they don’t want to drive out of state to a faraway landfill. Expect a practical, no-frills setup that sees steady traffic, especially on weekends and during spring cleanups.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale where loads are weighed and trucks come and go; traffic often moves in lanes and big trucks back up to the compactors. Loads are tipped and compacted on site, then shipped off to out-of-state landfills since Connecticut no longer operates active landfills. Lines can form at peak times, so plan for short waits; the site itself is paved with large concrete bays and industrial equipment visible around the working area. Recycling and drop-off areas are separate from the main tipping area, though locations can be busy and a little dusty.
