Disposal Site
Universal Disposal Services LLC
110 Murphy Rd, Hartford, CT 06114
Small, working disposal site off Murphy Road that folks around Hartford use for curbside overflow and bigger home projects. Neighbors, landscapers and small contractors drop by when residential trash won't fit in the usual pickup. It’s a plain, functional spot-nothing fancy, just a place to offload and move on.
Drive up to a booth at the entrance where someone checks vehicles and directs traffic; there’s usually a scale nearby, so vehicles stop twice-once in and once out. The lot is mostly open concrete and gravel with piles or containers visible from the drive; pull up, get directed to where to dump, then leave the way you came. Weekends and early spring tend to be busier, so expect a line then. Since Connecticut sends most material elsewhere, loads are processed for transfer rather than long-term burial.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a cover or tarp for loose material-wind can make a mess while driving through the yard.
- Have materials sorted in the truck or trailer before pulling in; unloading goes faster if items are grouped by type.
- If the place looks backed up, consider swinging by late morning on a weekday when local work crews often finish their early runs.
