Eastford Transfer Station

Small town transfer station used by Eastford residents to drop off household trash and recyclables. A local-style setup where loads are compacted and then trucked out to an off-site landfill. Neighbors swing by with wheelbarrows, pickup-truck loads, or a car-full of bags.

The site feels practical rather than fancy: a drive-up entrance with an attendant booth and a working scale nearby at many transfer stations, so expect traffic to slow while vehicles are weighed. Pull up to the booth first to be checked in, then follow the flow to the tipping floor or recycling area; trucks and compactors are usually in the same general work area. Ground is often gravel or paved with clear lanes for entering and exiting, and weekends or spring cleanup days can back up the line. Keep loads contained and easy to lift - the drop-off point can be a few steps from where a vehicle parks.
