Cornwall Transfer Station

24 Furnace Brook Rd, Cornwall Bridge, CT 06754

(860) 672-4079

A small transfer station serving Cornwall and neighboring towns, where local trash is compacted and sent offsite. Mostly used by residents dropping off household trash and recyclables, it feels like a practical spot rather than a fancy facility.

Drive up to a single entrance area with a small gate/booth and a scale - vehicles usually stop twice if they charge by weight. The lot has a few bays and a larger paved area where trucks back up to compact loads; expect to see roll-off containers and tractor-trailers coming and going. Pull up slowly and follow the flow of cars; there’s limited room for maneuvering, so wider vehicles need extra clearance. Lines form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a wait before getting to the drop-off point.

Before You Go

  • Have any required town permit ready and accessible in the vehicle; some towns enforce permits at the gate.
  • Load items so they’re easy to lift out-loose garbage bags and boxed recyclables make the drop-off quicker and reduce time spent in line.
  • Bring a tarp or straps if hauling bulky or open loads; things can shift during the short wait and while maneuvering in tight spots.
