Transfer Station
Hampton Town Transfer Station
35 Landfill Rd, Hampton, CT 06247
A small-town transfer station used by Hampton residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and trucked out of state. Neighbors, contractors with small loads, and people doing spring cleanouts all use this spot. The site feels utilitarian rather than flashy-just a working place to get rid of stuff.
Drive up to a single entrance where a booth or gate controls access; expect to show a town permit or proof of residency if the town requires one. The scale and compactor system are typically in plain view, with piles or containers for different materials nearby. Pull up when directed, unload where staff or signs indicate, then exit past the scale if there is one for weighing. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, so there may be a line of trucks and pickups waiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring town-issued permit or proof of residency; many Connecticut transfer stations require it for entry.
- Secure loose items in the truck bed and have recyclables separated to speed unloading and avoid extra handling.
- Try to go midweek or early morning to avoid weekend lines, especially during seasonal cleanups.
