Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

Many local residents and commercial haulers deal with transfer stations or out-of-state facilities in Connecticut, so confirm whether this site is accepting loads before planning a trip. It’s the kind of place where trucks and pickups mix, not a drop-off like a neighborhood recycling bin.
At a landfill like this there’s usually a scale and an attendant booth near the entrance, so expect to stop, be weighed and then stop again on the way out. Pull up to the booth first, the attendant will direct where to tip; larger commercial trucks typically have their own lanes or instructions. The site itself looks industrial - piles of compacted material, heavy equipment moving around, and a clear route to the active tipping face. Tipping fees are normally structured by weight with minimum charges for small loads, and commercial loads are generally handled differently than residential ones.
