Recycling Center
Woodbury Transfer Station And Recycling Center
22 Bacon Pond Rd, Woodbury, CT 06798
A local recycling center that most Woodbury residents use to drop off household recyclables and divert stuff from the trash. Short drives from town center make it a regular stop for people cleaning out basements or getting rid of bulky recyclables.
There’s usually a small entrance booth where attendants check permits or direct traffic, and a few large collection containers for paper, metal, glass and some plastics piled around the yard. Vehicles pull up, unload into the appropriate bins or dumpsters, then exit; expect to wait in line on busy weekend mornings. The site is industrial - gravel or paved drives, truck-sized bays, and piles or roll-offs visible from the driveway.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have the town transfer station permit or proof of residency ready before reaching the booth to avoid holding up the line.
- Sort and flatten boxes, and load recyclables by material in the car so unloading goes quickly once at the proper bin.
- Plan trips outside peak times - weekend mornings and spring cleanup weeks get the longest lines - and make sure bulky items are secured for safe unloading.
