Old Lyme Refuse Disposal

Old Lyme Refuse Disposal is the town disposal site on 4 Mile River Road that residents and local haulers use for getting rid of regular trash loads. It’s a practical spot-basic, not flashy-and used mostly by people dropping off household refuse and small truckloads. Connecticut sends its trash to transfer stations or out-of-state facilities, so this is where Old Lyme folks bring what they need to get rid of locally.

Drive in off 4 Mile River Road and follow the traffic flow toward the main drop area; expect a working-yard look with piles, containers, and a clear path for vehicles. There will be places to pull up and tip or unload, with larger trucks maneuvering around, so watch for backing vehicles. Many towns in the state require permits for town disposal sites, and some facilities use scales or an entrance booth where loads are noted. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines or brief wait times are common.
