Waste Management - Carey Station Transfer Station

Small-town transfer station off Carey Station Road that locals use when hauling larger loads instead of driving all the way to a landfill. Trucks and pickups show up here to drop off household junk, construction scraps, and yard debris. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than a tidy recycling center.

Drive up to an entrance booth area where attendants will direct vehicles; there’s typically a scale on the approach so plan for a brief stop on the way out since many transfer stations weigh loads. The site has compactors and large bays where material is tipped and pushed into containers to be trucked out, and it looks industrial - concrete pads, metal containers, and heavy equipment moving around. Pull up slowly and follow the traffic flow; larger trucks need room to maneuver and smaller pickups usually get directed to a different drop point.
