Georgetown Transfer Station on Bay Point Road is the town transfer station where locals bring household trash and small loads instead of driving to a distant landfill. The site compacts material and trucks it off-site, so it feels like a short, practical stop for routine cleanouts. Expect a straightforward, workaday place rather than a polished recycling center.
There’s an entrance booth and usually a scale lane, so drivers stop to check in before heading into the yard. Pull up to the booth, then follow the flow of traffic to the tipping area or the collection containers where loads are emptied and compacted. The site is mostly gravel with piles, bins and the occasional heavy truck moving around, so keep an eye out when walking between vehicles. Lines can back up on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup season.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items with a tarp or bungee cords-wind and passing trucks can scatter lightweight material.
- Sort recyclables at home ahead of time to speed through the visit and avoid digging through loads at the site.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves; the ground is often uneven and there can be sharp bits in the piles.
