Who can use it
Orange residents only, using their own vehicle, with a sticker required for personal vehicles. Stickers are available at the Transfer Station. Vehicles must be registered in Orange, CT, and the driver's license must show the resident's Orange address. Orange residents borrowing a vehicle must obtain a permit from Public Works (Town Hall, 2nd Floor, 203-891-4718), and the resident must be in the vehicle. Commercial contractors, business owners, landscapers, and landlords must obtain a permit from Public Works; fees may apply.
Hours
- The official Transfer Station page, still headed "Hours (as of March 2024)", lists Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; and Sunday closed, except for the November Sunday leaves hours described below. The official Transfer Station staff directory lists the same weekday and Saturday hours.
- Official Sunday leaves-hours conflict: the official Transfer Station page says, "November only: The Transfer Station will be open Sundays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for leaves only." The official Transfer Station staff directory says, "Select Sundays in November and December for leaves only, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m." Both official statements are shown. Confirm the next Sunday opening, and whether December Sundays are open, with the Transfer Station at (203) 891-2177.
