Killingworth Transfer Station

Recycle Way, Killingworth, CT 06419, United States

Get Directions

Small town transfer station on Recycle Way used by Killingworth residents and folks from nearby towns who have permits. It’s the place where household trash gets compacted and loaded onto trucks to go elsewhere, since Connecticut doesn’t have active landfills. The site feels like a working yard more than a curbside drop-off - expect concrete pads, dumpsters and a booth at the entrance.

Drive up to an entrance booth and have proof of residency or a permit ready; many Connecticut towns require them. There’s usually a scale and space to pull forward to unload, with recycling bins commonly located just past the booth to one side. The main area is a compacting/loading yard with big containers and concrete walls; vehicles and small trailers pull in, drop materials, then leave. Weekends and spring-cleanup periods get backed up, so lines and slow moving traffic are normal.

Before You Go

  • Bring whatever proof the town issues for station access - permits are commonly checked at the booth.
  • Sort recyclables and loose trash before getting out of the car so unloading is faster and less messy.
  • Avoid peak times if possible; early weekday mornings or late afternoons usually have shorter lines, and tie down any loose loads for safety.
