Small-town transfer station on S Waterboro Road that local residents use instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill. Mostly used by people dropping off bagged trash, bulky items and loads from household cleanups. Expect a practical, workmanlike place rather than anything fancier.
Drive up to a single entrance with a small attendant booth and a weight scale nearby; vehicles usually pull up to the booth first. Past the booth there’s a paved area with bays or compactors where trucks drop and compact the loads before hauling them off. On busy weekends or during spring cleanup the line of cars and pickups can get long, and snow can make the access lanes narrower in winter. Bring items secured in the back of a truck or in containers that are easy to lift - the tipping areas are functional, not decorative.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose items - wind and bumps can make stuff shift on the ride over.
- Try to come midweek if possible; weekends and spring cleanup days are when lines build up the most.
- Clear a spot in the truck bed before getting to the booth so unloading goes quickly once at the tipping area.
