Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Milford Transfer Station is the local transfer station in Milford where residents drop off household trash and recyclables to be compacted and hauled elsewhere. People who live in town and neighbors doing a big cleanup use this place instead of driving out of state to a landfill. It’s a working yard, not a park - expect trucks and concrete bunkers rather than landscaped grounds.
There’s typically an entrance booth and a drive lane where vehicles pull up to check in before heading to the drop-off areas. The site is organized around large concrete cells and compactors, so drop-off spots feel industrial and a bit noisy; bring gloves and close-toed shoes. Drivers usually stop at a scale area as part of the flow, and then move to the appropriate bunker or container for unloading. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so plan for some waiting during peak times.
