Who can use it
Residents must purchase a yearly Resident Permit for access to both the transfer station and landfill, and must show a vehicle registration with a Suffield address or proof of ownership of a residential property. Contractors doing work in Suffield need a yearly Contractor Permit and, to purchase it, proof of a legal business with an EIN number; a building permit or other proof of a Town jobsite is required before disposing of materials. Persons owning property in Suffield but living out of state may purchase the contractor permit for brush, logs, leaves, and grass, and for items on the additional fee schedule. Residents who do not have trash or recycling picked up at their residence may get a Household Trash Permit free of charge after filling out the Certification for Household Trash application; nothing in that section shall inhibit any resident from accessing bulky waste.
Hours
- Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed holidays, per the official Landfill, Trash & Recycling page. The official July 10, 2026, policy also says the Landfill will be closed for all snow and ice events because Landfill employees plow and salt Town roads, and to check the Town website or call ahead during winter months.

Other notes
- Facts from the official Town of Suffield Landfill, Trash & Recycling page, the official Landfill Policy & Fee Schedule Update effective July 10, 2026, the official 2026 Landfill Sundays residential leaf-disposal schedule, the official Landfill Policy and Fees Update news post, and the official 2026 curbside Recycling/Service Pickup Schedule, fetched November 12, 2026. The Landfill attendant mobile number printed on the official Landfill page is (860) 977-6640. Town Hall is 83 Mountain Road, Suffield, CT 06078, and is not the Landfill address.
- Recycling included with the Landfill permit fee, per the official Landfill page, also includes batteries, bottles, branches, brush, cans, cardboard, carpeting, clothing (Salvation Army pickup), e-waste, fixtures, glass, leaves, lightbulbs, newspapers, plastics 1-7, scrap metal including washers, dryers, and ovens/stoves, and scrap wood. Christmas trees may be brought to the Landfill for mulch. Food scraps are accepted at a designated bin behind Town Hall and Ebbs Corner Fire Station, not as a Landfill household-trash drop-off.
- The official Landfill page still links a Town of Suffield Landfill Permit Application that prints a $25.00 annual fee, July 1 through June 30, per vehicle. The current official policy linked as "Click Here for Policy and Fee Schedule," effective July 10, 2026, and the official 2026 Sunday leaf schedule both print $50. Both official figures are shown; use the July 10, 2026, policy as the current fee and confirm before you go.
