(860) 589-7376Plymouth Transfer Station in Terryville is where local trash and recyclables get dropped off, compacted, and then shipped out to out-of-state disposal. Neighbors and residents who need to haul household junk or recyclables use this kind of facility instead of driving to a distant landfill. It's a practical local spot for getting rid of larger loads without a long trek.
Drive up to an entrance area with a small attendant booth and lanes for different vehicle sizes; many transfer stations have a scale you’ll cross during the visit, so plan for a short stop in and out. There are piles and large bins, and compactors or a transfer building where trucks load up-staff direct traffic so vehicles move in sequence. Pull up slowly, follow signs or attendant directions, and unload where directed, then exit back the way you came. Weekends and spring cleanup can create lines, so allow extra time if arriving then.
