Waste Management - AmeriWaste Transfer Station
7130 Kit Kat Rd, Elkridge, MD 21075
(410) 796-7010Small-scale transfer station in Elkridge that local residents and small haulers use when driving to a distant landfill isn’t practical. It’s a place where trash gets compacted and sent off-site, so it feels more like a working yard than a dump.
Big concrete bays and compacting equipment dominate the lot; it looks industrial and a little noisy. There’s an entrance booth to stop at and a scale you’ll cross-charges are typically based on weight so expect to stop again on the way out. Pull-up lanes can be tight when trucks are backing in; larger pickups might need to swing wide. Weekend and spring cleanup traffic makes the line move slowly, while weekday visits are generally quicker.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure any loose trash with a tarp or tie-downs - wind can make a mess and staff won’t want debris flying in the lot.
- Load and separate recyclables or bulky items in the truck before getting to the booth to save time once at the drop-off area.
- Have a plan for backing up: scout where to park or unload if pulling a trailer, and expect to wait if several commercial trucks are working the bays.
