Town of Manchester Landfill and Transfer Station

Town of Manchester Landfill and Transfer Station is the town's transfer station on Olcott Street, used by Manchester residents to drop off household trash and recyclables before it is compacted and shipped elsewhere. People from town bring everything from small carloads to trailer loads when they need to get rid of bulk items or clear out garages.

There’s an entrance with an attendant booth where vehicles usually pull up first; expect to show a permit if the town requires one. Traffic moves toward a series of bays and a large tipping area where trucks and compactors handle the load; cars and small trucks park or pull up to unload and then often cross a scale on the way out since transfer stations typically charge by weight. Recycling containers are commonly grouped off to one side, and the whole place looks industrial-concrete pads, metal bunkers, and compacting equipment are visible from the drive lanes.
