Disposal Site
Regional Refuse Disposal District
31 New Hartford Rd, Barkhamsted, CT 06063
(860) 379-1972Regional Refuse Disposal District on New Hartford Rd is the local disposal spot serving New Hartford-area residents. It’s the place people bring household and small-contractor loads for drop-off rather than a neighborhood curb pickup.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and prepare to stop for a weigh-in; sites like this typically use a scale and you'll stop again on the way out. The lot is open with large containers and a paved tipping area, so expect to drive in, be directed to a drop point, and then exit past the scale. Signs and basic traffic flow guide where to go, and the recycling/overflow bins are usually grouped just past the entrance area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Many Connecticut towns require a transfer station permit-have whatever town documentation or ID is normally needed ready before pulling up.
- Load items so they’re easy to toss or hand off; loose, accessible placement speeds things up and keeps people behind from waiting.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; spring cleanup and holiday weekends get the longest lines at facilities like this.
