Huckleberry Hill Landfill sits on Huckleberry Hill Rd in Avon and is identified as a landfill - the kind of place where material is buried as a final disposal. Local haulers and municipal trucks are the usual users, though Connecticut often relies on transfer stations or out-of-state sites for active disposal, so confirm current local use before planning a trip.
Expect a fairly industrial-looking site with a drive-up approach to a scale and an attendant booth near the entrance; stops on both the way in and way out are common at landfills that charge by weight. The tipping area and working face are visible from the access road and can be dusty or muddy depending on the weather. Commercial loads are commonly handled at landfills and fees are typically structured by weight with minimums and separate commercial rates, but exact rates and acceptance policies are set locally. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have longer lines and slower turnover.
