Transfer Station
Hartland Transfer Station
12 Welsh Rd, East Hartland, CT 06027, United States
A local transfer station in Hartland where residents drop off household trash and have it compacted before leaving town. People from Hartland and nearby towns use it when they don't want to drive out of state to a landfill, and many towns require a permit to use places like this in Connecticut.
Pull into a gated entrance and be ready to stop at a booth or scale - transfer stations in Connecticut commonly charge by weight, so there’s usually a weigh-in. Vehicles often line up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so allow extra time. The site is mostly industrial: large concrete bays, a compacting area, and trucks coming and going; expect to maneuver a pickup or trailer into a drop-off area and then drive back over the scale before leaving.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring proof of residency or your town permit; without it some stations won’t accept your load.
- Secure loose items and tarp any loads on a trailer so debris doesn’t fly when dumping or while driving through.
- Try to visit midweek or early in the morning to avoid the long weekend lines common during busy seasons.
