Landfill Open Thursday So Folks Can Dump Storm Tree Limbs, Brush

EAST HAVEN, CT —The town landfill will open Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for town residents to — at no charge — get rid of brush and tree limb debris littering yards from Tropical Storm Isaias’ winds.

Contractors however are not permitted to dump brush, tree limbs and yard materials.

To use the Commerce Street facility, usually open Friday and Saturday, one must be an East Haven resident and the materials must come from an East Haven residence. Please provide proof of this in the form of a valid Connecticut driver’s license or a property tax bill at the time of pass purchase.

Purchasing landfill passes for items other than storm debris will only be available at the landfill at the time of the visit and only debit and credit cards will be accepted, no cash.

The registration of the vehicle being used must be presented at the time of pass purchase. There are no exceptions to this. Even if using vehicle with dealer plates or renting a vehicle, some sort of paperwork stating vehicle gross weight must be presented to purchase pass.

Masks will be worn by employees when in contact with others. Masks must be worn by all residents disposing of material at the landfill and social distancing protocols must be followed.

The transfer station attendant will control the total number of vehicles and residents within the property at any one time. Be aware that lines may result as we handle the backlog of resident materials.
