Augusta Transit–Transfer Facility

Augusta Transit–Transfer Facility is the small transfer station on Broad Street that locals use when hauling loads too big for curbside pickup. Neighborhood residents and small haulers bring bulky bags, construction debris, and other household junk here so it can be compacted and sent off to a landfill elsewhere. It feels like a working city lot rather than a public park - practical and a little gritty.

Pull up to an entrance booth and wait to be waved through; there’s usually a scale between the entrance and the tipping area so vehicles stop twice. The site is mostly concrete bays and large compactor pits where trucks deposit and load material into larger haulers. Expect heavy equipment noise, the smell of dust, and a lot of trucks and trailers moving around; keep windows up and stay in your vehicle unless directed otherwise. Lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup, so plan for some waiting if it’s a busy day.
