Transfer Station

Woodstock Transfer Station

49 Paine District Rd, Woodstock, CT 06281, United States

A small-town transfer station used by Woodstock residents to drop off household trash and recyclables before it's compacted and sent elsewhere. Many locals swing by instead of driving all the way to an out-of-state landfill. Town permits are common in Connecticut, so bring whatever town ID or permit is required for access.

Drive up to an entrance booth where vehicles stop briefly; the site typically has a scale and a drive-through pattern for trucks and cars. There are piles or containers for different materials and a compacting area where loads are processed before leaving the site. Expect a gravel or paved yard with industrial equipment around and signage marking where to pull up for unloading. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually have longer lines, so plan for a short wait during busier periods.

Before You Go

  • Bring proof of residency or the town permit, since many Connecticut transfer stations check before letting vehicles in.
  • Have trash sorted before pulling forward-separate recyclables from general trash to keep the line moving and make unloading quicker.
  • Use a pickup or small trailer cautiously: know your vehicle height and secure any loose items so nothing blows out while driving through the yard.
