Transfer Station
Wethersfield Transfer Station
100 Marsh St, Wethersfield, CT 06109
Wethersfield Transfer Station is the town’s place to drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and trucked out of state. Folks from Wethersfield and nearby towns use it when curbside pickup isn’t enough or for bigger loads that won’t fit in the trash can.
Drive up to a small entrance booth where staff will usually check that the vehicle is allowed to use the site; there’s a scale and a compacting area further in. The yard is mostly concrete and fencing, with large roll-off containers and a few permanent bays for different materials. Pull into the line if it’s busy - weekend mornings and spring cleanup season get backed up. After unloading, vehicles typically head back past the scale before exiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency or the town permit handy in an easy-to-reach spot inside the vehicle so it can be shown without rummaging.
- Sort recyclables, metals, and loose debris at home and tarp loose loads; it saves time getting directed to the right container.
- Avoid the busiest times by aiming for weekday mid-mornings if possible, and have someone to help lift heavy items so unloading goes faster.
