Transfer Station

Hampton Town Transfer Station

35 Landfill Rd, Hampton, CT 06247, United States

Small town transfer station used by Hampton residents to drop off household refuse and recyclables before it's compacted and hauled elsewhere. Locals, landscapers and folks doing spring cleanouts all use this place; it's the closer option rather than driving out of state to a landfill. Expect a modest, working-site feel rather than anything fancy.

Many transfer stations in Connecticut have an entrance booth and a scale, so plan for a brief stop at the gate and another at exit if charged by weight. The site will look industrial: piles, compactors and large trucks moving around, with parking or pull-up lanes for cars and small trucks. Typical flow is to pull up, show any required town permit, then be directed to drop-off points; signage and simple barriers guide traffic more than landscaped walkways. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually bring the longest lines, while weekday mornings tend to be quieter.

Before You Go

  • Bring the town permit or proof of residency that many Connecticut towns require for transfer station use - not having it can mean a wasted trip.
  • Load vehicles so trash and recyclables are easy to grab and separate at the drop-off point; that saves time and avoids juggling bags in the lane.
  • Avoid mid-afternoon weekends during spring cleanup if possible; arriving early on a weekday or just after opening usually means a much shorter wait.
