Plymouth 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.

Before You Go

  • Bring any town permit or proof of residency that the municipality requires for transfer-station use - that’s a common rule in Connecticut.
  • Sort and bag materials before arriving so unloading is quicker; have heavy items on a dolly or with an able-bodied helper to speed things along.
  • Secure and cover open loads and tie down loose debris ahead of time; busy days mean little room to fuss with straps or last-minute adjustments.
