Golden Hill Transfer Station

3270 Golden Hill Rd, Church Creek, MD 21622

(410) 397-3865

Small transfer station out on Golden Hill Road that people from Church Creek and nearby areas use when a landfill is too far to bother with. Mostly residential folks and small haulers stop here to drop off compacted loads that get trucked out of county.

Drive in past a single entrance where a booth sits near the road and traffic often forms behind slower trucks. Pull up to the scale and refuse area-vehicles are weighed and then directed to the tipping floor where trash is compacted into larger trucks. The site has the rough, industrial look of concrete bays, ramps, and big compactors; expect a working yard rather than a tidy recycling center. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to have lines, so plan for short waits during those peak times.

Before You Go

  • Bring a secure tarp or cover for loose debris; wind can scatter lightweight items while waiting in line or on the tipping floor.
  • Drive-level trucks and trailers should allow for easier maneuvering; longer trailers can be awkward on the ramps and often require extra room to turn.
  • Sort bulky items in advance so unloading goes faster-having anything that needs special handling separated will speed the whole visit.
