Dan's Dump Runs LLC is a local dump at 800 Flanders Rd Building 11 Unit 9 in Mystic (Groton) used by residents and small haulers for everyday disposal needs. It feels like a working lot more than a public park - convenient for neighborhood cleanouts and contractor drop-offs.
Drive in and follow the flow of traffic toward the paved approach; there’s typically an entrance booth and a scale, so plan for a short stop before and after dumping if the site charges by weight. The site looks industrial - trucks, gravel, concrete bays or containers - so keep a slow speed while moving through. Pull up, unload where the pile or bay is open, then head back over the scale if required. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup season, can get backed up, so expect lines at busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of town residency or a transfer-station permit ready if that applies - many Connecticut towns require permits for local disposal.
- Secure and cover loose loads; a tied-down tarp keeps debris from blowing onto Flanders Road and makes dumping easier.
- Try for a weekday or early-morning run to avoid the weekend rush - bring extra time during spring cleanup when lines get long.
