This is New London Solid Waste Transfer on Lewis Street, a local transfer station where neighborhood trash gets compacted and sent off to out-of-state landfills. People from town and nearby areas bring household loads here instead of driving to a distant landfill, especially when towns require permits for transfer station use.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and tell them what you're bringing; there’s often a scale near the entrance so vehicles may need to stop twice. The site is mostly open pavement with large concrete tipping areas and compacting equipment beyond the public drop-off, and recycling or drop-off containers are usually grouped to one side. Lines can form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait at busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have your town permit or ID ready if your municipality requires one-it speeds things at the booth.
- Load trucks and trailers so material can be tipped easily; staff typically point out where to pull up and where to dump.
- Expect to queue during peak periods; bringing something to cover loose loads helps avoid delays and extra cleanup.
