Hartford Landfill MDC

Hartford Landfill MDC is a full-scale landfill in Hartford that serves municipal crews and commercial haulers as a final disposal point. This is the place where trash gets buried rather than sorted on site, so most of the traffic tends to be trucks and roll-offs rather than casual drop-offs.

There’s usually a weigh scale and a staffed entrance booth, so plan on pulling up to a checkpoint before heading to the tipping area. Expect to drive onto a compacted working face or pad where loads are dumped and covered; the site looks more industrial than a transfer station. Loads are charged using a tipping fee structure (commonly by weight or per load at facilities like this), and commercial vehicles are typically handled differently than residential vehicles. During busy times the line to get in can back up, so there’s often a bit of waiting before getting to the scale or the pit.
