Transfer Station
Sandy River Plantation Transfer Station
Unnamed Road, Rangeley, ME 04970
Sandy River Plantation Transfer Station on Unnamed Road in Rangeley is the small local spot where household trash gets dropped off, compacted, and hauled out to a landfill. Neighbors and seasonal homeowners use it when a trip to the landfill would be a longer drive.
Like most transfer stations, loads are compacted here and loaded onto larger trucks for transport. Drive in slowly and follow the flow on the lot; there’s usually a place to pull up for check-in and spots for different types of materials. The site looks and smells like a working industrial lot at times-dust, heavy equipment and roll-off containers are common, so keep a safe distance. Weekends and spring cleanup can back things up, so a weekday run is often quicker.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and bundle recyclables or separate materials at home so unloading goes faster.
- Bring gloves, closed-toe shoes and a tarp - the ground can be uneven and there’s often broken glass or sharp metal around.
- Back the vehicle up toward the drop area and have someone help if possible; it speeds unloading and keeps things safer.
