Transfer Station

Newtown Transfer Station

4 Ethan Allen Rd, Newtown, CT 06470, United States

Get Directions

Small-town transfer station serving Newtown residents who need to drop off household trash and recycling. Locals, contractors with small loads, and anyone with bulk items that don’t fit in curbside pickup use this site.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and stop to check in; this is where vehicles tend to line up on busy days. A scale and weigh station are usually part of the flow, so vehicles stop twice - once coming in and once leaving - as trucks compact material before it leaves the property. The tipping floor is visible from the drive area and trucks haul compacted loads off-site; expect noise from compactors and semi activity. Recycling and drop-off containers are generally grouped to one side of the main driveway, with piles and attendants nearby handling larger items.

Before You Go

  • Bring any town permit or sticker that Newtown requires for transfer station entry; many Connecticut towns enforce permits for residents.
  • Avoid late morning or weekend afternoons during spring cleanup - lines get long and traffic backs up onto Ethan Allen Rd.
  • Load tarps and secure loose items before driving in; loose household debris or unfastened bags can create extra stops and spills at the scale and tipping area.
