Redding Transfer & Recycling Station

Small-town recycling center used mainly by Redding and nearby residents for dropping off household recyclables and bulky items. Located on Hopewell Woods Road, this is the place people bring stuff they don't want in the regular curbside bins. Connecticut sends no trash to in-state landfills, so places like this matter for keeping things out of the landfill system.

A single-lane entrance with a small booth visible from the road; pull up slowly and stop at the booth when directed. A scale is usually in the drive area, so vehicles often weigh in and out - expect to stop twice if that’s how the site runs. Recycling containers and piles are outdoors and grouped by material, with the main bins typically off to the right past the entrance area. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and the site has the rough, utilitarian look of a working transfer/recycling yard rather than a tidy retail center.
