Waste Facility
Waterbury Refuse Department
500 Captain Neville Dr, Waterbury, CT 06705
(203) 574-6857Small municipal refuse yard on Captain Neville Drive used by Waterbury residents for household trash and regular pickups. People from town bring cars, small trailers, and pickup loads here rather than trying to haul things out of state.
Drive up to an entrance booth where staff will likely look for proof of residency or a permit; there’s a scale and a traffic flow that sends vehicles in and back out, so expect to pause for a moment. The site is low-rise industrial - concrete pads, roll-off containers and compacting equipment are visible from the driveway. Recycling and bulky-drop spots are grouped nearby, with trucks coming and going; lines form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency or the town permit handy before reaching the booth to avoid delays.
- Secure loads with tarps and tie-downs; loose debris slows unloading and can litter the driveways.
- Try for an early weekday visit when possible - weekends and spring cleanup times tend to back up traffic.
