Transfer Station
Plymouth Transfer Station
175 Old Waterbury Rd, Terryville, CT 06786, United States
A town transfer station used by Plymouth and nearby residents to drop off household trash and recyclables before it's compacted and hauled away. Small-town setup rather than a big commercial landfill; locals bring everything from bags of household trash to seasonal clean-up loads.
A travel lane leads to an entrance booth where attendants usually direct traffic and check permits; expect to stop there before driving in. Vehicles pull up to a scale or weigh point and then are directed to the tipping area where trucks compact the material. The site looks industrial - concrete bays, large metal containers, and collection trailers - with haulers coming and going. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanups, so there can be a wait during busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring the town permit or proof that allows use of the transfer station; many Connecticut towns require them.
- Secure loads and have items sorted in advance so unloading goes faster once at the tipping area.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or spring-cleaning days if possible to cut down on time spent waiting in line.
