Seymour Public Works is the town’s local place for dropping off household refuse and recycling, used mainly by Seymour residents. Small trucks, pickups and trailers are a common sight here, especially on weekends and during spring cleanups.
Pull up to an entrance area where there’s usually someone or a booth checking that vehicles are from town - many Connecticut towns require permits or proof of residency for transfer station use. Expect to drive slowly through the site and stop to get directions on where to unload; different materials are typically separated into piles or containers. The site looks like a working yard: piles, open-top containers, and a few signing posts rather than landscaped grounds. Lines form on busy days, so plan for a little wait if it’s a Saturday morning or during seasonal cleanup.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency or the town permit ready and visible before reaching the entrance to avoid holding up the line.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables in the vehicle beforehand so unloading goes faster and fewer trips around the yard are needed.
- Secure and cover loose loads on the drive over, and bring gloves or basic hand tools - the work area is gritty and not set up like a retail drop-off.
