East Lyme Town Transfer Station

91 Roxbury Rd, Niantic, CT 06357, United States

Get Directions

East Lyme Town Transfer Station on Roxbury Road in Niantic is where town residents drop off household trash, recyclables and the occasional bulk item. Most locals use it instead of driving all the way to an out-of-state landfill since Connecticut sends waste through transfer stations. Many Connecticut towns require a transfer station permit, so have proof of residency or your permit handy.

Pull into a working yard with an entrance booth and a short pull-up lane; permits are typically presented at that booth. Expect to see large compactors and transfer trailers where material is crushed and loaded for transport, and a separate recycling area with a row of bins. Weekends-especially spring cleanup time-can back up into the driveway, while weekday mornings tend to move faster. The site feels industrial: concrete pads, metal bays, trucks coming and going, and a few spots for bulk items rather than a single drop-off point.

Before You Go

  • Have the town transfer station permit or proof of residency ready and visible before you get to the booth to speed things along.
  • Flatten boxes, secure loose material, and sort recyclables at home so unloading is quick and less awkward at the bays.
  • Avoid weekend afternoons and known spring-cleanup weekends if possible; earlier weekday trips usually mean shorter lines and less waiting.
