How disposal works in Connecticut
Connecticut has no county government, so trash is a town job. Almost every town runs its own transfer station, and every one we've checked is for residents: bring a driver's license or registration with a local address, and in some towns a pass or permit. Norwalk's Disposal Pass is free to residents who pay city car tax; New Canaan sells a $100 annual permit.
Several towns have no town trash pickup at all: Westport and Guilford residents haul their own trash or hire a hauler, so the transfer station is where it all goes. Prices vary from town to town: Stamford takes 200 lbs a day free, Stratford 250 lbs a month and Westport six bags a trip, while Guilford sells $3 pay-as-you-throw bags and Hamden charges by the pound. The stations in Waterford, Groton and Meriden take no household trash at all, only bulky waste, and Bristol takes the first 100 pounds a day free.
