Small town transfer station used by Millinocket residents to drop off household and bulky trash before it gets compacted and trucked to a landfill. Locals, contractors with small loads, and anyone who'd rather not drive to a distant landfill use this spot. Expect a simple, no-frills municipal setup rather than a commercial recycling center.
There’s typically an entrance drive where vehicles queue up to speak with an attendant at a small booth, then move on to the tipping area and compactor. The site is compact - think municipal yard with a large container or pit and room to maneuver trucks and trailers. Winter conditions can make the access road and parking icy or snowed-in, so slow approach and careful backing are common. Lines can get long on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for some wait time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose trash and cover loads; wind and the elements can scatter lighter items while waiting or during tipping.
- Bring something to close or latch trailer gates - backing up and unhitching in cold weather is harder than it looks.
- Use a smaller vehicle where possible; tight turns and limited turning radius for long trailers make maneuvering tricky.
