Pull up to the attendant lane, then follow signs and arrows to the dumping area where compactors and large roll-off containers sit on concrete pads. The whole place looks industrial: big piles, metal containers, and heavy equipment moving about, so take it slow when driving through. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so wait times can get long at peak times.

Before You Go
- Bring whatever town permit or proof of residency is required - many Connecticut towns restrict use to residents and require permits.

- Avoid weekend afternoons and spring cleanup rushes if possible; early mornings or weekdays are usually quicker.
