Newtown Landfill is listed at 45 Main St in Newtown and is the type of place contractors and town residents would use when trash needs to be buried. Bear in mind Connecticut currently sends its municipal solid waste to transfer stations or out-of-state facilities, so this listing may reflect a landfill designation rather than an active in-state disposal site. People with larger loads or commercial haulers would normally look for a facility that handles bulk deliveries.
Expect a working-site look: a scale house or weigh-in/ weigh-out point is typical for landfills and you’ll likely cross a scale when entering and again leaving. There’s usually a small booth or office at the entrance where vehicles queue briefly before being directed; pull up slowly and be ready to stop. Tipping fees for landfills commonly depend on weight or volume, and commercial deliveries are generally treated differently than residential loads. The grounds are often a mix of compacted earth, piles of cover soil, and heavy equipment moving material around, so follow traffic flow and signage.
