Montville Transfer Station is the local spot where town trash gets dropped off and compacted before being trucked out of state. Residents and small haulers use it-mostly people who don't want to drive to a distant landfill. The address is 669 CT-163, Montville, CT 06353, so it's easy to find off the main road through town.
There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale; expect to stop briefly at the gate and again on the way out if they charge by weight. Vehicles pull up in lanes to unload-cars and pickups usually have different drop points from larger trucks. The site is mostly concrete and heavy equipment: compactors, large roll-off containers, and room for trucks to back in. Weekends and spring cleanup days often have lines, so traffic can back up onto the access road.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring proof of town residency or the permit that's required by many Connecticut towns-it’s often checked at the entrance booth.
- Sort and secure everything in the vehicle before getting to the drop spot so unloading goes quickly and items don’t fall out in the traffic lanes.
- If possible, go midweek or early morning to avoid the longer weekend lines; space to maneuver can be tight when several trucks are waiting.
