Belfast Transfer Station

A small transfer station that locals use to drop off household trash and recyclables before it’s compacted and trucked out of town. People from Belfast and nearby towns swing by when it’s more convenient than driving to a distant landfill. It’s the kind of place where you see pickup trucks, trailers, and the occasional contractor truck on a weekday.

There’s a single entrance drive with an attendant booth near the road and a scale area further in where materials get weighed before leaving. Pull up to the booth first; after that drivers usually follow signs or the attendant’s directions to the compaction bay or containers. The site is open-air with concrete bays and big compactors or roll-off containers visible from the driveway. In winter the yard can get icy and piles of snow change how traffic flows, so things can look different from season to season.
