Oakville Transfer Station

Oakville Transfer Station in Mechanicsville, Maryland (26600 N Sandgates Rd) is the local transfer point where residents bring household refuse for consolidation and onward hauling. People who live nearby use it when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t practical or when dropping off larger loads that won’t fit curbside pickup.

Pull into a clearly marked entrance and be prepared to share the yard with large collection trucks and compactors - it’s an industrial lot, not a tidy drop-off park. There’s usually a staffed booth or check-in point at the entrance and wide lanes for backing trailers or maneuvering pickups. Expect concrete tipping areas and high walls of compacted material or roll-off containers; bring a little patience during busy weekends or seasonal cleanups. Vehicles often need room to turn, so plan on driving slowly and following any on-site traffic flow.
