(207) 757-8313Small-town transfer station used by Oakfield residents and nearby towns for dropping off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and trucked out. Located on Thompson Settlement Road, it’s the kind of place locals swing by for regular cleanouts and seasonal pile drops. Winters can make the drive slower, so plan for road and site conditions in cold months.
Drive in toward a clearly marked entrance where there’s typically an attendant booth and traffic flow to the tipping areas; pull up to the booth or gate and follow the onsite signs for the correct bay. The site is mostly open yard with concrete ramps and large containers or compacting equipment set back from the drive; bring a vehicle that can handle gravel and occasional mud. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect other cars waiting and limited space for turning around at busy times. Trash here is compacted and then hauled to a landfill elsewhere, so the site has the feel of a working yard rather than a landscaped park.
