Mattawamkeag Transfer Station

Mattawamkeag Transfer Station sits off Wilderness Park Campground Road and is where town residents bring household trash for compaction and shipment to a larger landfill. Folks from around Mattawamkeag and nearby rural areas use it because it saves a long drive. It’s a small, no-frills site that’s practical for dropping off a carload or a pickup load.

Pull up to a small entrance area and plan to stop briefly at a booth or scale like at most transfer stations; be ready to wait your turn. The site feels compact-roll-off containers and a compactor are typical, and larger trucks come through to haul loads out. Sorted recycling and metal drop-offs are often near the main drop area, so having things separated makes the stop quicker. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to have lines, so expect a short delay at busy times.
