Transfer Station

Orange Town Transfer Station

100 S Orange Center Rd, Orange, CT 06477, United States

Small-town transfer station in Orange where residents drop off household trash and recycling instead of driving to a distant landfill. Locals, landscapers with small loads, and anyone hauling a truckbed come here for a quicker trip than an out-of-state run. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than anything fancy.

There’s an entrance booth where someone checks permits or residency - pull up slowly and be ready to show whatever the town requires. After that, follow the lane to the unloading area and toss items into the compactor or into the bin indicated; trucks here compact loads and haul them out. The site looks industrial: concrete pads, big metal bins, and heavy equipment moving about, so keep a safe distance when getting out of the vehicle. Weekends and spring cleanups are noticeably busier, so lines can form at the gate.

Before You Go

  • Have whatever permit or proof of residency ready and visible; paperwork slowdowns hold up a surprising number of cars.
  • Secure and tarp loose material before arriving - debris blowing out of a truck slows unloading and draws extra attention.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and gloves and plan to stay with the vehicle while unloading; staff won’t load or unload personal items for you.
