North Stonington Transfer Station

215 Wintechog Hill Rd, North Stonington, CT 06359, United States

Small-town transfer station used by North Stonington residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables. It’s the local spot where loads get compacted and then shipped out of state, since Connecticut has no active landfills. Neighbors and town permit holders make up most of the traffic here.

Drive up to a single entrance road that leads to an attendant booth and a short queuing area; cars and small trucks pull up to the booth before proceeding. The site is compact with piles, compactors, and roll-off containers; everything looks more industrial than tidy. Trucks regularly back in to load compacted trash before heading out, so expect some noise and diesel smell. Recycling bins are usually grouped to one side and larger collection areas sit beyond the booth.

Before You Go

  • Have the town permit or proof of residency accessible before pulling up to the booth; many Connecticut towns require one to use their transfer stations.
  • Bring gloves and a tarp for loose items-walking between containers can be dusty and items sometimes need a short carry from vehicle to bin.
  • Avoid weekend mornings if possible; lines and wait times often build up during spring-cleanup and other busy periods.
