Get Directions

This is New London Solid Waste Transfer, the town transfer station on Lewis Street used by residents dropping off household trash and manageable bulk items. Neighbors swing by when they don't want to haul loads out of state themselves; the site compacts material here before it’s trucked elsewhere.

Drive up to an entrance booth where staff will direct traffic - there’s usually a single lane in and out so follow the signs and cones. The yard is industrial: large pits or containers and heavy equipment moving material, with recycling bins set off to the side. Loads are typically tipped into a compactor or container and then hauled away, so don’t expect any long-term storage on site. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait during busy times.

Before You Go

  • Bring whatever town permit or sticker is required - many Connecticut towns enforce permits for transfer station use and staff will ask for proof.
  • Secure and cover loose items in the truck or trailer; wind can scatter light stuff when stopping or when other vehicles pass.
  • Avoid peak times like Saturday mornings or early April weekends if hauling a big load, since those are when backups are most common.
