Transfer Station
New Vineyard Transfer Station
1601 New Vineyard Rd, New Vineyard, ME 04956
This is the town transfer station where residents drop off household garbage and recyclables before the loads get compacted and hauled away. Folks from surrounding parts of New Vineyard and nearby towns use it when driving directly to a distant landfill isn’t practical. Expect a small, practical site rather than a big commercial operation.
Most transfer stations of this size have a single entrance with a small booth or kiosk and a short line of vehicles on busy days. Vehicles usually pull up to the booth first to check in, then move to the unloading area where dumpsters or compactors are located. The site looks functional: gravel or paved yards, a few piles or containers, and equipment for loading. Winter weather can make access slower, so drive carefully and allow extra time for getting in and out.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to cover loads - loose material can blow around while driving and during unloading.
- Leave space in the truck bed or trailer so staff can safely access and empty the load without shoving everything forward.
- Plan for weekend crowds during spring cleanup and town cleanout days; weekdays mid-morning often move faster.
