Transfer Station

Preston Transfer Station

108 Ross Rd, Preston, CT 06365, United States

Get Directions

A straightforward town transfer station in Preston where residents drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and hauled out of state. Neighbors, landscapers, and anyone with a car or small trailer use it when they don’t want to drive to a distant landfill.

There’s an entrance booth and a short drive into a fairly open yard with bays and compacting equipment visible in the center. Pull up to the booth first for whatever permit or entry check the town requires, then follow the flow of cars to the tipping areas. Vehicles usually line up on busy days, and space is mostly gravel or paved with clear paths for trucks to back into the bays. Expect to walk a short distance from where vehicles stop to the actual drop-off points and to see piles or containers where material is staged before loading out.

Before You Go

  • Have the town permit or proof of residency handy and accessible - it speeds the stop at the entrance booth.
  • Secure loose items and tarp loads before leaving the car; wind and the short walk to the bays can make things messy.
  • Avoid weekend mid-mornings if possible; spring cleanup and weekends are when lines get long and parking fills up.
