Freeport Transfer Station

Freeport Transfer Station on S Walnut Rd is the local transfer station folks from Freeport and nearby towns use when hauling household junk or small renovation debris. It’s the kind of place where trucks tip into a compactor and material gets shipped out to a larger landfill elsewhere. Expect a working, no-frills setup rather than a tidy recycling center.

Drive in to a single entrance with a small booth and a scale-vehicles usually stop once coming in and again when leaving because charges are by weight at most transfer stations. There are pull-up lanes and a concrete pad with a big hopper or compactor where loads are dumped; large trucks come and go. The site looks industrial: gravel or paved lots, high concrete walls, and piles behind the tipping area. Weekends, especially spring cleanup, can have a line, so plan for a short wait if it’s busy.
