A small-town transfer station where Bridgton residents drop off household trash and recyclables before it's compacted and hauled out to a larger landfill. Locals use it when hauling anything too big for curbside pickup or when making a one-stop trip to get rid of a pile of junk.
Pull in to a single-lane entrance with an attendant booth near the front; there's often a short line at busy times. You'll cross a scale - these places commonly charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. The site is yard-style with bays and a big compactor or container area; recycling containers are usually off to one side. Winter can make the access road and tipping areas slippery, and weekends, especially during spring cleanup, get backed up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring chains or good winter tires in the colder months-the driveway and unloading pad can be icy and plowed but not always perfectly cleared.
- Have materials separated and ready before getting to the booth so unloading goes faster and the line moves; a tarp on the truck bed helps keep things together.
- Go midweek or early in the morning on weekends to avoid the longest waits; watch for trucks backing up near the compactor and give them plenty of room.
