Southington Opens Transfer Station For Special Hours Due To Storm Cleanup

SOUTHINGTON, CT — Southington residents cleaning up after the severe July 4 storm will have additional opportunities to dispose of fallen branches and yard debris this week.

Southington Town Manager Alex Ricciardone announced that the Southington Transfer Station, 517 Old Turnpike Road, Plantsville, will offer two special brush-only collection days to help residents remove storm debris following the damage caused by the Independence Day storm.

The special hours are:

• Wednesday, July 8: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Thursday, July 9: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

During those two days, the Southington Transfer Station will accept brush and yard debris only.

Town officials said household trash, recycling, and other materials will not be accepted during the special cleanup hours.

The transfer station will then return to its normal operating schedule on Saturday, July 11, when it will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for full operations and will accept all standard materials as usual.

Town officials said the expanded hours are intended to assist residents as they continue cleaning up fallen trees, branches and other storm-related debris left behind by the July 4 weather event.
