This rating is based on customer reviews, inventory size, pricing, and service quality
Based on recent feedback, Guilford Transfer Station in Guilford Township, CT earns a 96/100: reviews are highly positive about friendly, helpful staff, efficient operations, clear layout, and broad options for recycling and bulky drop‑off. Yard feels organized and generally quick, though Saturday rushes can cause waits. One critique notes missed opportunities to upcycle premium electronics. Pricing details are scarce, and “parts-finding” isn’t applicable here. Overall service and professionalism stand out; inventory breadth pertains to disposal categories rather than resale.
Great, convenient service, which wasn't available where I used to live. And it's really important to keep this stuff out of landfills, so this is a really important facility doing great work. And I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I really wish Guilford and Madison would do a little more work to realize the maximum revenue and value from premium discarded electronics, by directing them to their best and highest use. 65" brand new-looking Vizio headed into the same void as all the other worthless old junk. I'm sure there are liability and staff bandwidth implications, but you'd think the upside would be high enough to be worth the effort to divert the cream of the crop items to upcycling or auction, instead of getting pennies on the dollar from a commodity vendor like Take 2. And if so, you'd think there could be significant environmental *and* revenue dividends.
