Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump

Greenwich Waste Disposal on Holly Hill Lane is the town disposal site locals use for household hauls and small contractor drops. Neighbors bring everything from tied-up trash bags to pickup loads. Since Connecticut has no active landfills, material taken here is routed on to transfer or out-of-state facilities.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and a scale; like other Connecticut transfer stations, expect to slow down at the gate for a check. Beyond that is a paved tipping area with large containers and steady truck traffic-there's noise, diesel smells, and limited room to maneuver for long trailers. Lines build up quickly on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so be prepared to wait. Watch for trucks backing and follow any on-site signs or cones to stay out of others' turning paths.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring proof of Greenwich residency or a town permit if required-many Connecticut towns ask for that at the booth.
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items on open pickups; debris blowing off a load causes extra delays and sometimes a second stop.
- Try for an early weekday visit if hauling bulky stuff-weekends and spring cleanup times are the busiest and the drive-in queue can be long.
