Guilford Stump Dump is the town dump on Boston Street that locals use for everyday household and yard debris. Neighbors, landscapers and people doing small projects stop by here when they need to get rid of bulk junk that won't fit in curbside pickup.
There’s a small entrance booth and a fenced yard; vehicles pull up to the booth first and then drive into the tipping area. A scale is often visible on site so weight-based charges are common in Connecticut transfer/dump setups. Expect piles of wood, brush and mixed debris with roll-off containers and a few concrete or brush piles scattered around; weekends and spring cleanup days can be busy with lines of trucks and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring whatever municipal permit or proof of residency the town requires for using the facility-many Connecticut towns enforce permits for transfer/dump access.
- Arrive with loads secured and easy to unload; backing a truck or trailer close to the drop point saves time when it’s busy.
- Try to visit outside peak times like weekend mornings during spring cleanup to avoid long waits; have a plan for where to put different types of material in the truck to speed unloading.
