Small, no-frills transfer station used by locals dropping off household trash and recyclables. Located on Ciro Road in North Branford, it’s the kind of place neighbors swing by with a pickup or a carload instead of driving out of state. Expect a working, industrial feel rather than anything fancy.
There’s an entrance booth and a drive-up lane where vehicles queue before pulling in. A scale is in the mix, so many people stop on the way in and again when they leave. The site is mostly concrete and big roll-off containers or compacting pits, with piles and machinery in the background. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so it can feel busy and noisy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have items sorted before pulling up - keep recyclables separate if possible so unloading goes faster.
- Bring whatever permit your town requires; many Connecticut towns limit transfer station use to residents with a sticker or permit.
- Plan for peak times: weekday late mornings or early afternoons are usually quieter than weekend mornings.
