A small town drop-off for New Fairfield residents to get rid of household trash and recyclables. Locals use it for regular curb-type loads and the occasional oversized item that won't fit at the curb. It's the practical spot people think of when clearing out a garage or carting yard debris.
Drive up to a clearly marked entrance at 33 Bigelow Rd and you'll see a little attendant booth near the driveway; that's where vehicles usually stop first. Pull up slowly - there's a scale area for larger vehicles and a place to show any required town permit or ID. Dump areas and recycling containers are visible from the access road, with traffic flowing past them so drivers back in or pull forward to unload. Weekends and spring cleanups get busy, so expect a line at busy times and bring a tarp or straps for loose loads.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have whatever permit the town requires ready and easy to reach; it's commonly checked at the booth.
- Tie down loose material and cover dusty loads to keep things from blowing out while waiting.
- Bring separate bags or piles for recyclables versus trash so unloading is quicker and less fiddly.
