Waste Management - Curtis Creek Transfer Station

Small but busy transfer station in the Curtis Bay area of Baltimore, used by local homeowners and small haulers who want to drop off loads without driving out to a distant landfill. The site compacts waste and sends it on by truck, so most visits are quick once through the line. Expect a working industrial yard rather than a tidy civic center.

There’s an entrance booth and lanes to pull into for check-in and unloading; larger commercial trucks share the space with pickup trucks and trailers. A weigh scale and a second stop on the way out are common at places like this, so plan for a short pause after unloading. The yard has concrete tipping areas, big compactors or roll-off areas, and loud machinery-ear protection and careful footing are sensible. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so traffic and waiting are the main delays.
