Annapolis Junction Transfer Station

Annapolis Junction Transfer Station on Brock Bridge Road in Jessup is where local residents and small haulers drop off trash that gets compacted and then trucked out to a landfill. People use it when a curbside pickup won't handle a big load or when driving to a distant landfill isn't practical. Expect an industrial, working-site feel with lots of truck traffic.

There’s typically an entrance booth or gate to register, and many transfer stations use a scale so you may stop to weigh in and then weigh out. The tipping area is open and noisy, with compactors and large trucks moving material into containers - keep clear of backing vehicles. Recycling and drop-off containers are usually set to the side of the main bays, so follow the flow of traffic and on-site signs. Weekends and spring-cleanup season get busy, so lines can form.
