Southington Transfer Station

617 Old Turnpike Rd, Plantsville, CT 06479, United States

Southington Transfer Station is the town transfer station serving Southington/Plantsville residents for dropping off household trash and recycling. Locals use it when curbside pickup isn't enough or for larger trips of sorted materials. It’s the kind of place used for bulk cleanouts and regular household tosses.

Drive to the entrance where there is typically an attendant booth and a scale; transfer stations in Connecticut compact loads here before they’re trucked out of state. Pull up to the booth for any check-in procedure the site uses, then follow traffic flow to dumping areas and recycling containers. The site is mostly open pavement with big metal containers and compactors; expect to walk a short distance from the vehicle to drop-off points. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so plan extra time.

Before You Go

  • Have proof of residency or the town permit handy in the glovebox so check-in goes faster.
  • Load things so they can be handed down or lifted easily - put small loose items in boxes or bags and tarp anything that could blow out of the truck.
  • Aim for a weekday morning if possible to avoid long lines; if that’s not an option, arrive with a clear plan for which pile or bin items go to so unloading is quicker.
