This little transfer station on Mitchell Rd is what Dixmont folks use when hauling household trash or the occasional bulky item and don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. Neighbors from nearby towns drop by here too for a quicker turnaround. Don't expect anything fancy-just a practical, working site.
Pull in from Mitchell Road and you'll see a small entrance booth where vehicles stop before heading to the drop-off area. Drive carefully; lanes are narrow and larger trucks move through the site. Big containers and transfer trucks are where loads get compacted and moved offsite, so cars sometimes pause while a truck is being loaded. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so plan for possible wait time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and regular trash at home so unloading goes faster; the drive-up area can be tight and crowded.
- Bring gloves, a tarp, and something to secure loose items-wind and passing trucks can scatter lightweight debris during unloading.
- Try to avoid weekend mornings in spring and fall if possible; those times usually have the longest queues.
