Monroe Public Works Landfill

Monroe Public Works Landfill is listed as the town landfill in Monroe, Connecticut and would be the place where trash is buried in the final stage. Neighbors, contractors and town vehicles are the kinds of users who end up here, though Connecticut generally sends active municipal trash through transfer stations or out of state.

Drive in and you’ll likely see a vehicle scale and an entrance booth where loads are checked - tipping fees are typically charged by weight at landfills, so expect to stop on the way out as well. The site itself is usually large and open, with compacted earth, access roads and areas where loads are spread and buried; visibility from the road makes it easy to spot where to pull up. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at landfills, but towns vary, so prepare as if there will be a check of your load and any required paperwork.
