Davis Disposal Service is a local disposal site in Stamford that handles residential and community loads. Neighbors bring everything from household trash to small cleanouts here, and because Connecticut sends trash through transfer stations, expect this place to be part of that chain out of state.
Pull up to the entrance where there’s usually a small booth and staff taking information; have any town transfer permit ready if one is required. Vehicles commonly go over a scale, so plan to stop twice-once in and once on the way out if that’s how this type of site operates. The yard looks like a working industrial lot with roll-off containers and piles of materials; it’s not landscaped or fancy. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so space to queue in your vehicle can be limited.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a town transfer permit when required by local rules-many Connecticut towns enforce permits for transfer station use.
- Secure loads well; trailers and open trucks are common and loose debris can be a hassle for both unloading and traveling.
- Avoid peak times if possible-weekend mornings and spring cleanup season see the longest lines and slowest processing.
