Transfer Station

South Berwick Transfer Station

246 Gilman Falls Ave, Old Town, ME 04468

(207) 827-6977

Small-town transfer station used mostly by Old Town residents and nearby towns hauling household trash and brush. Looks like the kind of municipal place where people swing by with pickup loads or trailers rather than drive out to a distant landfill. Expect a no-frills, practical setup rather than anything fancy.

A single-lane entrance with an attendant booth and a scale nearby; pull up to the booth first to check in before driving into the drop area. The site is dominated by a couple of large compactor bays and open tipping areas, with recycling and metal containers set off to the side. Trucks and trailers are common, so watch for backing vehicles and give crews room to work. In winter the driveway and ramps can get slippery and the place can run slow if snowplows are on site.

Before You Go

  • Have proof of residency or a town sticker handy, since many transfer stations ask for it at the booth.
  • Cover loose loads and tie down branches or trash; windy days make a mess and crews won’t appreciate debris down the road.
  • Plan for delays on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup; drive slowly on-site and be prepared to stop on the scale since weight-based fees are common.
