Litchfield Transfer Station

Litchfield Transfer Station is the local spot where town trash gets compacted and loaded onto trucks bound for a landfill. People from around Litchfield and neighboring rural areas use it when hauling household cleanouts, bagged trash, or stuff that won’t fit at the curb. Winters can make the drive and the yard a bit messy, so plan for slick spots in cold months.

There’s an entrance booth to stop at and a vehicle lane that leads into the yard; the scale is nearby, and many Maine transfer stations use weight-based fees, so be ready to stop again on the way out. Pull up slowly - trailers and compactors are parked out in the open and visibility can be limited when it’s busy. Recycling and general drop-off areas are usually grouped to one side of the lot, with larger dumpsters and a compactor pad down in the center. Weekends and spring cleanup days get backed up, and the surface can be gravel or packed dirt rather than paved.
