Bridgeport Transfer Station — Hours & Rules

Bridgeport's dump is the city's Transfer Station at 475 Asylum Street, open to residents year-round, Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., for household trash and recycling.

It's a household-waste station, not a construction dump: it takes trash, recycling, yard waste and metal, but no construction debris, sheetrock, concrete, shingles, toilets or paint. Mattresses and wood doors must be cut in half, and you can bring two tires a trip.

The city's page lists no fee for residents' household trash. Non-residents who own property in the city bring proof of ownership and can make one trip a day.

What to take elsewhere

Construction debris, cabinets, concrete, sheetrock, roofing shingles, siding, toilets and sinks aren't accepted; the city's page points residents to two private transfer facilities, in Stratford and Milford, that take demolition and bulk material for a fee. Paint goes to a paint retailer; the city names two Bridgeport paint stores on its page. Chemicals, medical waste and other hazardous materials aren't taken either.
