Mansfield Landfill

Mansfield Landfill is listed as a landfill in Mansfield Center and would be the kind of place haulers and towns use for final disposal. In Connecticut most active disposal actually goes through transfer stations or out of state, so this should be thought of as a landfill-type site rather than a typical local transfer station. Drivers hauling large or commercial loads are the most likely users.

The site is large and built for heavy trucks; expect to see a scale house where vehicles are weighed in and out since landfills normally charge by weight. There’s usually a booth near the entrance for check-in and a pull-up area for the scale before heading to the tipping face. The working area tends to be open dirt and compacted fill with equipment like bulldozers and compactors operating nearby; traffic can back up when multiple commercial trucks arrive. Signs and simple directional markings typically point out the route to the active tipping area and the exit scale.
