Transfer Station
Ledyard Transfer Station
889 Colonel Ledyard Hwy, Ledyard, CT 06339, United States
Small-town transfer station for Ledyard residents and neighboring towns that use the facility. A working, no-frills spot where local trash gets compacted and sent elsewhere rather than landfilled in Connecticut.
A single-lane entrance with an attendant booth and a scale is typical, so plan to pull up, stop, and then move on through. Vehicles are directed to different drop-off points-trash goes to the compactor building and recyclables usually have separate collection areas nearby. The site looks industrial: concrete pads, roll-off containers, and big trucks coming and going. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so sights of idling cars and a short wait are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have any town transfer station permit or ID ready before pulling up; many Connecticut towns require them for resident access.
- Load items so they’re easy to lift-flatten boxes, secure loose material, and separate recyclables ahead of time to speed the drop-off.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; midweek or late afternoon visits usually mean shorter lines and less waiting.
