New Hartford Landfill is the local municipal landfill in New Hartford, used by town crews and commercial haulers as the place where trash is finally buried. People bringing loads will find it functions like a traditional landfill rather than a transfer station. Expect it to handle both residential and larger loads typical of a landfill operation.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a scale-you’ll usually stop to be weighed on the way in and again on the way out since tipping fees are often assessed by weight. The tipping face and working area are open and mostly bare earth with compacted piles; trucks pull up, tip, and drive away. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are typically off to one side near the entrance booth. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines at the scale can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have materials secured for transport; loose loads can be messy and may slow unloading at the tipping area.
- Use a truck or trailer approach that lets drivers back up easily to the tipping face-maneuvering room is limited during busy periods.
- Bring identification and any town permit if required by New Hartford rules, since many Connecticut towns request permits for facility use.
