Transfer Station
Morris Transfer Station
Morris, CT 06763, United States
Morris Transfer Station is the town transfer station in Morris, CT where local trash gets compacted and trucked out to landfills elsewhere. Neighbors use it for household junk, seasonal cleanups, and recycling runs when hauling to a distant landfill isn’t worth the drive. It’s a working, no-frills lot-practical rather than pretty.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a lane for dumping; towns in Connecticut often require a permit, so have that ready. The site has large concrete bins and compactors with transfer trucks coming and going, and recycling containers usually sit off to one side. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there may be a wait. It feels industrial-big trucks, concrete walls, and a gravel or paved yard-so take it slow while moving around the site.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have your town permit or ID ready to show at the entrance and keep it visible for a quicker stop at the booth.
- Sort and load materials before getting there so recyclables and trash can be dropped quickly without lots of sorting at the site.
- Avoid weekend mornings and peak spring cleanup times if possible; midweek or later in the morning usually means shorter lines.
