Small-town transfer station on Public Works Rd in Lovell that locals use when driving all the way to a distant landfill isn’t worth it. Trash is compacted here and then loaded onto larger trucks to be hauled elsewhere, so it’s more convenient for most residents.
Drive in and see a modest entrance area with a booth and a scale nearby; stopping at both is common for this kind of facility. There’s a paved tipping area and large bins or a compactor where vehicles unload, and tractor-trailers frequent the site. Lines can build up on weekends or during spring cleanup, so expect a bit of traffic at peak times. The layout is practical rather than polished - bring patience and plan for a short wait if others are there.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency or a town sticker handy since many local stations ask for it before accepting loads.
- Sort out recyclables, metal, and bulky items before pulling up to the drop-off area to save time once it’s your turn.
- Try to go midweek or mid-afternoon to avoid the weekend rush; big cleanup weekends can back traffic onto the road.
