Cromwell Transfer Station handles household trash and recycling for Cromwell residents and nearby towns. It’s the local spot where loads get compacted and sent off to out-of-state landfills, so residents stop here instead of driving far away.
There’s a staffed entrance booth and a drive-in lane where vehicles pause before moving to the tipping area. Large concrete bays, compactors and roll-off containers dominate the yard, and transfer trucks come and go. Expect to pull up, wait your turn in a line during busy times, then unload at the appropriate container or bay before driving past the scale on the way out.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have town proof of residency or a permit ready; many Connecticut towns require them for transfer station use.
- Sort and load materials beforehand-keeping trash, recyclables and bulky items separated cuts unloading time.
- Try to visit midweek or late afternoon to avoid the heavy weekend and spring-cleanup lines; secure and tarp loose loads for safe travel.
