Rocky Hill Transfer Station

59 Old Forge Rd, Rocky Hill, CT 06067

Get Directions

Rocky Hill Transfer Station is the town's transfer station at 59 Old Forge Rd, used by residents and municipal haulers to drop off household trash and recyclables. In Connecticut there are no active landfills, so sites like this compact material and send it elsewhere for disposal. Expect basic, no-frills operations rather than a recycling center with lots of customer services.

There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale near the driveway, so drivers stop to check in and may need to weigh out on the way back. Vehicles pull up to concrete tipping bays or large containers where material is dumped and then compacted or loaded into transfer trucks. The site looks industrial - big trucks, metal containers, and concrete ramps rather than landscaped grounds. Lines build up on busy weekends and spring cleanup times, so plan for some wait time if coming then.

Before You Go

  • Bring any town permit or proof of residency that might be required by Rocky Hill before you try to enter; many Connecticut towns enforce permits for transfer station use.
  • Sort and bundle materials at the vehicle so unloading is quick - having items separated and ready to toss saves a lot of time in the bay.
  • Aim for weekday mid-mornings if possible to avoid weekend backups, and wear sturdy shoes and gloves since the site is industrial and can be muddy or uneven.
