Salisbury Transfer Station

Small transfer station in the Lakeville area that most Salisbury residents use for household toss-outs and small cleanups. In Connecticut, trash is compacted here and then trucked out of state, so local permits are commonly required for access. It’s a practical stop if the nearest landfill would be a long drive.

There’s a staffed entrance booth where vehicles stop first; show whatever town permit is required and the attendant will direct where to pull up. A scale is typically nearby and loads are weighed, so expect to stop on the way out as well. The site looks industrial - bays, compactors and tip areas, with a lot of truck activity - and recycling containers are usually grouped off to one side. Weekends and spring cleanups can get backed up, so traffic and waiting are worth factoring into the trip.
