Rules in New Haven County

Household hazardous waste from Wallingford residents goes to HazWaste Central, 90 Sargent Drive, New Haven, Saturday mornings mid-May through October (203-401-2712); online registration is required before drop-off. Source
Connecticut has no county government; each town runs its own transfer station, so rules differ by town. Most require proof of residency (license, vehicle registration or sticker), and several (Meriden, Orange) do not take regular household trash or charge per visit. Source
Meriden: free hazardous waste disposal day on Saturday October 31, 2026; residents must re-register even if signed up for the postponed date. Source

Before you go

Secure everything in the truck bed; loose debris on the road can mean a fine.
Liquids, paint and chemicals usually go to a hazardous waste site, not the dump.
Ask on the phone whether they take small loads from individuals.
Gloves and closed shoes help when you unload by hand.
