Orange Town Transfer Station

100 S Orange Center Rd, Orange, CT 06477

(203) 891-2177

Small town transfer station in Orange where residents drop off household trash and recyclables before it's compacted and sent elsewhere. Mostly used by people from town who need a closer option than driving to an out-of-state landfill. The site sits just off S Orange Center Rd and feels like the kind of place locals use on weekends and cleanup days.

There’s an entrance booth near the driveway where vehicles stop to check in and pay before driving in. Drive-on scale and tipping areas are typical for this kind of facility, with large concrete bays and compactors visible in the main yard. Recycling bins and containers are usually off to one side, while trash loads are directed toward the compactor pits. Lines can form on busy Saturdays, and drivers should be ready to follow simple traffic flow signs and attendants' directions.

Before You Go

  • Bring items organized by type in the vehicle so unloading goes quickly-loose mixed piles take longer to sort at the drop-off point.
  • Use a small vehicle when possible; tight turns and backing into bays are easier with less cargo and a shorter trailer.
  • Have proof of residency ready if the town requires permits for transfer station use, and stash loose debris in closed bags to avoid spills during the short drive into the lot.
