The Bull Bag Dumpster Bag sits right on Route 80 in Killingworth and handles the town’s everyday drop-offs. Neighbors swing by with household and yard loads when doing a cleanup or clearing out a garage; it’s a practical, no-frills place for local refuse.
Pull off CT‑80 into a short drive where there’s an entrance/booth area and a scale - expect to stop and be weighed, as most places around here charge by weight. After that, follow the lane to the dumping area; there are big containers and open bays rather than a landscaped lot. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring-cleanup, so there can be a bit of waiting. The site looks industrial and functional: gravel or pavement, trucks coming and going, and room to back up to a container.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of town residency or a transfer-station permit handy - many Connecticut towns require one for access.
- Avoid weekend mornings and peak spring-cleanup days if possible; weekday afternoons are usually less crowded.
- Secure loose material with tarps and separate recyclables from trash before arriving to speed up unloading.
