Dump Runs, Etc.

Dump Runs, Etc. is a local dump/transfer spot on W Broad Street used by Stratford residents and nearby towns for dropping off household trash. Lots of neighborhood pickups and truck runs show up here, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup. It’s the kind of place people go when regular curbside pickup won’t cut it.

Drive in off W Broad and you'll likely see an entrance booth and a traffic flow that channels vehicles past a weigh scale - many Connecticut facilities charge by weight, so be ready for that. Pull up to the drop-off area where piles and containers sit on concrete bays; solid-looking ramps and a few piles of material are common sights. Vehicles often queue, with pickup trucks and small trailers lining up and crewed commercial trucks nearby. Expect basic, functional signage and a workmanlike layout rather than anything polished or landscaped.
