Transfer Station
Belgrade Transfer Station
92 Dunn Rd, Belgrade, ME 04917
Belgrade Transfer Station at 92 Dunn Rd in Belgrade, Maine is the town transfer station where locals bring household trash and bulky items instead of driving to a distant landfill. Small and workmanlike, the site compacts loads here and trucks them out elsewhere. Most users are area residents dropping off weekday or weekend loads.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and wait your turn in the lane; there’s usually a scale or check point before you head to the drop-off area. The yard is a working site with gravel surfaces, roll-off containers, compactors and a transfer building - expect heavy equipment and trucks moving. Backing into bays and hand-unloading bulky items is common, so having a helper makes things quicker. Weekends and spring cleanup draw the biggest lines, so traffic can stack up at the entrance.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or tie-downs - loose items and bags blow around in the wind and slow unloading.
- Bring a helper or spotter for backing and moving bulky items; the lot can be tight and extra hands speed things along.
- Wear work gloves and sturdy shoes; there’s usually dirt, nails or broken glass around containers and on the ground.
