Manchester Landfill is the listed landfill for Manchester, Connecticut. Because Connecticut doesn’t operate active landfills anymore and most trash goes through transfer stations or out of state, think of this site in that statewide context rather than as a neighborhood dump.
This is a no-frills, industrial spot - a gated entrance with a scale/scale house where vehicles stop to be weighed and tipping fees are figured by weight. There will be heavy equipment, piles of soil or cover material, and a clear place for trucks to pull up and unload. Commercial haulers commonly use landfill facilities, though in Connecticut many loads are routed through transfer stations before leaving the state. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so plan for some waiting.
