Montgomery Transfer Station is the spot in town where local trash gets compacted and loaded onto trucks for the longer haul to a landfill. Folks who live in the Montgomery area or nearby neighborhoods use it when they have more than curbside pickup can handle.
Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly for directions; there’s usually a scale and traffic flow that routes vehicles for unloading. The site is an industrial lot with concrete bays and a big open tipping area rather than tidy curbside containers. Recyclable drop-offs, if available, are typically grouped off to one side, while general refuse goes to the compacting area. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have longer lines, so expect some wait during peak periods.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items with a tarp or straps so stuff doesn’t fly out when backing into the tipping area.
- Have everything easy to hand - doors open, tailgate down, and small things already bagged - to speed up unloading.
- Try a weekday morning if possible; traffic is usually lighter than late afternoons or Saturdays.
