Get Directions

Southington Transfer Station in Plantsville handles household trash drop-offs for town residents and nearby towns that use transfer stations. Locals use it for big cleanouts or weekly runs when town pickup isn't enough. The site feels like a working yard - not fancy, but practical.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop for check-in; there’s usually a short lane to pull up so the attendant can look in the truck bed or trunk. The yard has large concrete tipping areas and compactors off to one side, with commercial trucks moving in and out. Expect to see piles of bulky items and separated recycling containers somewhere on the property, plus a scale area where vehicles may be weighed. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so there can be a line to get in.

Before You Go

  • Have whatever town permit or proof of residency ready - many Connecticut towns require one for transfer station access.
  • Secure loose items and tarp any open loads before arrival; loose garbage or flying debris slows things down and can lead to extra stops.
  • Try to come early on a weekday or before the late-morning rush on weekends to avoid long lines and tight backing spaces.
