New Gloucester Transfer Station

Small-town transfer station used by New Gloucester residents to drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and trucked out. Locals swing by for routine cleanup or when town curbside service isn’t an option, so expect a steady mix of cars and small trailers.

Drive up to a gated entrance and pull into a single-lane approach near an attendant booth; there’s usually a scale and a place to stop on the way out. The grounds are a working yard with compactors, roll-off containers, and piles that change with the season, not a tidy retail recycling center. Recycling and trash drop-off points tend to be clustered to the right or straight ahead from the entrance, with room to back a truck up to a container. In winter the yard can get icy and snowplowed paths might be narrow, so plan for slower maneuvering.
