Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

Granby Transfer Station is the town's place to drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets trucked elsewhere. Locals and residents who need to dispose of bulky or regular loads use it, especially since Connecticut sends no waste to in-state landfills. The site sits at 103 Old Stagecoach Rd and looks like a typical small-town transfer station from the road.
Drive up to an entrance area with a small booth where vehicles pause briefly; many Connecticut transfer stations have scales and a short stop back out is common. There are compacting pits and large roll-off containers visible from the drive, so expect big dumpsters and trucks moving around. Pull up slowly, have items reachable from the vehicle, and follow staff directions for where to dump and which container to use. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so plan for some waiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have any required town transfer station permit or proof of residency ready and visible in the vehicle, since many towns in Connecticut check permits.
- Load the truck or car so items are easy to toss out-loose bags on top and heavy items accessible-this speeds the drop-off and keeps things safer.
- Avoid peak times if possible; weekends and spring cleanup draw the biggest crowds, so a weekday trip can save time if that’s an option.
