Eliot Transfer Station

Small town transfer station used by Eliot residents and neighboring towns. A practical place where household trash and recyclables get dropped off and loaded onto larger trucks for transport to a landfill. It feels like the kind of working yard a local would point to when telling someone where to take a pickup load.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop and sort what’s in the vehicle before getting too far into the yard. There’s a scale and a compacting area where trucks move material into larger containers, so expect to see steady truck activity and piles or dumpsters for different materials. The recycling containers are usually grouped together off to one side and the tipping area for trash is more central and open. In winter, snowbanks and icy patches can make maneuvering slower and parking tighter.
