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.
