Washington Transfer Station

57 Clark Rd, Washington, CT 06793, United States

Get Directions

Small-town transfer station used by Washington residents to drop off household trash and recyclables before it’s compacted and hauled out of state. Locals swing by with pickup loads, small trailers, or bags from a spring cleanup. Many nearby towns require a permit to use places like this, so bring whatever town ID or permit is needed.

Pull in through a single entrance where there’s usually a small attendants’ booth and a short traffic queue on busy Saturdays. A scale and tipping area are nearby - loads are weighed or inspected and then compacted into larger trucks that leave the facility. The site is mostly paved but can be dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain; expect trucks and forklifts moving around. Lines and wait times grow during weekends and seasonal cleanups, so plan for some circling or a short hold-up.

Before You Go

  • Have town permit info or ID readily accessible - some towns enforce permit checks at the gate.
  • Secure loose items in the truck or trailer so nothing blows out while onsite; bring gloves and a buddy for heavy lifting.
  • Sort obvious recycling from bagged trash beforehand to speed things up - that simple split can save time in line.
