Woodstock Transfer Station

49 Paine District Rd, Woodstock, CT 06281

(860) 928-2770

Woodstock Transfer Station is the town's place to drop off household trash and recyclables before it's compacted and trucked elsewhere. Locals, contractors with small loads, and anyone transporting bulky items use it when a direct landfill run isn't practical. The site sits just off Paine District Road and looks like a typical small-town transfer station-not fancy, but functional.

There’s an entrance booth and a gate you’ll pull up to first; expect to stop briefly at the booth and then drive in. A scale is usually on the approach and trucks take the compacted loads from the tipping area, so bring your load in a vehicle that’s easy to maneuver. Recycling bins and drop-off areas are clustered nearby, and the whole site has that open, industrial feel-concrete pads, roll-up bays, and compactors. Weekends, especially in spring and fall, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Have whatever proof of residency or town permit ready-many Connecticut towns require permits to use their transfer stations.
  • Sort and secure loose items before leaving home (tarps and straps help) so unloading moves faster and nothing blows out of the truck.
  • Try a weekday morning or early afternoon to avoid weekend backups; larger pickups and spring cleanups make lines longer.
