Princeton Transfer station

Princeton Transfer Station on Peggy Lane is the small town spot where locals drop off household junk and heavier loads that get compacted and trucked out to a landfill. People use it when driving all the way to a distant landfill isn't worth the trip. It feels like a working yard more than a public drop-off, so expect practical, no-frills surroundings.

Pull up to a small entrance booth at the driveway and be prepared to stop; there’s usually a scale involved and many transfer stations charge by weight, so a stop on the way out is common. The yard has concrete islands, large containers and compactors where trucks tip loads, and a few labeled bins for recyclables or metals. Trucks and trailers come through the site frequently, so lanes can get busy and backing maneuvers are normal. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to have longer lines and slower unloading.
