Transfer Station
Killingworth Transfer Station
Recycle Way, Killingworth, CT 06419
Killingworth Transfer Station on Recycle Way is the town spot where residents drop off household loads to be compacted and shipped out of town. People from Killingworth and nearby swing through for routine trash runs and seasonal cleanups.
Drive up to an entrance booth and expect to pause for a moment; transfer stations typically have a scale and a checkpoint near the gate. The yard looks like a working municipal site - concrete bays, piles for different streams, and compactors with trucks coming and going. Recycling containers are usually grouped to one side, so having things sorted before pulling in saves time. Weekends and spring cleanup days are the busiest, while weekday mornings tend to move faster.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring any town transfer-station permit or sticker if the town issues one; many Connecticut towns require permits.
- Sort recyclables and keep bulky items easy to lift so unloading goes quickly - it’s helpful to know where each pile goes before pulling into a bay.
- Try a weekday morning to avoid lines; if a line forms, stay in your vehicle until it’s your turn so traffic can keep moving.
