Rules in New Haven County
- Household hazardous waste from Wallingford residents goes to HazWaste Central, 90 Sargent Drive, New Haven, Saturday mornings mid-May through October (203-401-2712); online registration is required before drop-off. Source
- Connecticut has no county government; each town runs its own transfer station, so rules differ by town. Most require proof of residency (license, vehicle registration or sticker), and several (Meriden, Orange) do not take regular household trash or charge per visit. Source

- Most dumps turn away hazardous waste, so keep paint and chemicals out of the load.
- Expect a scale or a quick load check at the entrance.
