The official Transfer Station page says the Transfer Station only accepts material that originates from residential properties in the Town of Wilton. A vehicle permit sticker is required for any residential vehicle delivering solid waste, bulky waste, or recyclables, including recycling. There is a maximum of two stickers per household. If a vehicle is not registered at a Wilton address, proof of residency is required.

The official 2026 holiday schedule prints the same window as Monday thru Thursday, 7 a.m. to 330 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 12 Noon; official typo: "330pm." Closed Friday, Sunday, and the dated official 2026 holidays listed below.
