Eastern Transfer Station, LLC in Deep River is the local transfer station where town and regional trash gets compacted and loaded onto larger trucks for hauling out of state. Residents and small haulers use places like this instead of driving to a distant landfill; expect a functional, working-site vibe rather than anything fancy.

Drive onto Commercial Drive and pull up to a small entrance area with a booth and a scale-many transfer stations use a weigh-in/ weigh-out system so stopping twice is common. Vehicles then move into a series of drop-off lanes or container bays where loads are tipped or placed, and large compactors or roll-off trucks handle the heavy lifting. The site has industrial smells, clanging metal and constant back-and-forth of trucks; plan for some noise and dust. Weekends and spring cleanup periods often have the longest lines, so queues are more likely then.

Before You Go

  • Bring whatever town permit or ID is required-many Connecticut towns check permits at the booth for resident access.
  • Sort and secure the load before leaving home so unloading at the bay goes quickly and nothing shifts during the drive.
  • Try to come early on a weekday if possible; weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to back up and add waiting time.
