Glanding Transfer Station

A small county transfer station serving Millington-area residents and rural customers from nearby parts of Maryland. People drop off household trash, bulky items and recyclables here because the site compacts loads and sends them on to a landfill elsewhere. It’s the kind of place used when hauling straight to a distant landfill isn’t practical.

There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale where vehicles stop before going into the working area; charges are commonly based on weight, so expect to stop twice. The site is industrial - large roll-off bays, a compactor, and piles or containers for different materials are visible from the drive lanes. Pull up to the attendant lane, follow the traffic flow past the scale, and then move to the appropriate drop-off bay or container for your load. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so the gravel lot and traffic lanes can get crowded at peak times.
