Somers Transfer Station

Somers Transfer Station is the local place where town trash and recyclables get dropped off and loaded into larger trucks to be hauled out of state. People from Somers and nearby towns who have a transfer station permit use it for household cleanouts and routine trash runs. It feels like the kind of municipal lot with a booth, concrete tipping floor, and big compactors in the back.

There’s usually an entrance booth and a drive-on scale near the front, so expect to slow down and stop at least twice during the visit. Vehicles pull into lanes that lead to a tipping floor; crews or mechanical equipment compact and load material into larger trucks. The site is mostly paved with gravel shoulders, signs for where to angle into a bay, and a few roll-off containers or covered bays for recyclables. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to get busy, so lines and waiting vehicles are common.
