Small transfer station on Foss Road in Saco that locals use for household cleanouts and short-haul loads.

Pull in toward a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly before moving on; a scale and tipping area are common at places like this. The yard is mostly concrete bays, big roll-off containers and the occasional tractor-trailer; it's noisy and can be dusty. Vehicles queue up when it's busy, with most traffic on weekends and during seasonal cleanups. Plan to pull up, unload into a hopper or container area, then drive back out the same way you came in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and bundle materials at home so unloading goes faster - separate bulky things from loose debris before getting out of the car.
- Aim for weekday mornings if possible; weekends and spring/fall cleanup days usually have the longest lines.
- Bring gloves, a tarp and straps for loose loads, and wear shoes that can handle mud or concrete dust while climbing in and out of the truck bed.
