Who can use it
Open to all Woodbridge residents for household waste disposal and recycling. This is a permit-required facility. All vehicles entering the Transfer Station must have a valid permit. Permits are not sold at the Transfer Station. Sticker-type permits are issued to vehicles registered in the Town of Woodbridge that are not leased or registered under a company name. Leased or company-registered vehicles receive a temporary paper-type permit, issued on a fiscal-year (July through June) basis and renewed every year. Residents must provide the make, model, and license plate number, and show the vehicle registration, for each vehicle.
Hours
- Regular hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed Sunday, Monday, and all legal holidays, as printed on the official Transfer Station page and the official 2026 holiday-closings page.
- Summer hours: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and all legal holidays. The official pages do not print a start or end date for the summer window. November 12, 2026, is outside the summer season, so the official regular Tuesday-through-Saturday hours currently apply; confirm at (203) 389-3420.

Other notes
- Facts from the official Town of Woodbridge Transfer and Recycling Station page, Holiday Closings page, permit-information page, and fee-schedule page, fetched November 12, 2026. Public Works is at 15 Meetinghouse Lane; Town Hall is 11 Meetinghouse Lane, Woodbridge, CT 06525, (203) 389-3400, and those are not the Transfer Station address.
- Official typo on the fee schedule: "CFCH / HCFC." Official wording on demolition debris is ".10 cents per pound," as printed. Official typo on the Thanksgiving line of the holiday table runs the closed wording into the Friday-open note without a space before "Open."
- If a resident hires a private contractor to dispose of debris, the resident is responsible for obtaining a temporary permit issued to the resident, including the hauler's name, town, and vehicle make, model, and license plate. Fees may be paid at the Transfer Station (check or debit card only) or at the Public Works office (cash or check). Private trash and recycle haulers must register with the Public Works Office yearly.
