Transfer Station

The Stonington Transfer Station

is open seven days a week, from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM, and is closed on major holidays.

The Town makes every effort to conduct waste management operations in a safe, legal, efficient, and environmentally sound manner. There are two compactors to take solid waste; a recycling building to take paper, cardboard, glass, and cans; an electronic waste section; a "take-it-or-leave-it" section; a burn pile, a demolition pile, a tire pile, and a metal pile. The Transfer Station also collects returnables, and uses the proceeds to help finance operations.

In order to use the Stonington Transfer Station, a dump sticker is required.

Stonington residents pay $5.00 annually. For rental units, the annual fee is $20.00. Contractors working on a site in Stonington must get a sticker for $5.00. Dump stickers and contractors disposal permits are available at the Town Office.

Check in with the Transfer Station attendant before dumping anything other than household trash, recyclables, or items for the Swap Shop.

Non-payment of fees will result in loss of Transfer Station privileges.
