Fryeburg Transfer Station on Lovell Rd is the town transfer station locals use for household trash and recyclables. It’s where loads get compacted and then trucked off to a landfill, which is often more convenient than driving out of town for disposal.
Pull up to a small entrance area and be prepared to stop briefly at a booth or check point; that’s a normal part of the flow. There’s usually a scale and a handful of tipping bays or large containers where material is dropped and compacted before being hauled away. Recycling and bulk-drop spots tend to be off to the side, so having things separated ahead of time moves a visit along. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, so expect a line then.

- Secure loose trash with a tarp or boxes; wind and traffic can turn an unsecured load into a bigger chore.
- Try for a midweek or early-morning visit if possible; those times usually have shorter lines than weekend afternoons.
