Transfer Station
Phippsburg Transfer Station
58 Sam Day Hill Rd, Phippsburg, ME 04562
(207) 389-1402Small-town transfer station used by Phippsburg residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables. Located on Sam Day Hill, it’s the kind of place locals use when hauling stuff that’s easier to leave here than drive to a distant landfill.
There’s a modest entrance with a booth and a spot to pull up; prepare to stop and unload from the driver’s side. The site has compacting equipment and roll-off areas, so trucks come and go and things are moved off-site. It’s open-air and feels utilitarian - gravel or paved surfaces, piles or containers, and the usual sort of signage for where things go. Busy times can slow things down, and winter weather can make the ground slippery or muddy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Load the truck so heavy stuff is easy to reach and remove first; that saves time and awkward lifting at the pit.
- Sort and bundle cardboard, metal, and other recyclables at home so unloading is quicker and less messy.
- Bring gloves, sturdy bags, and a tarp to keep loose trash contained and to cover a load if weather turns while waiting.
