Sheffield Transfer Station

Sheffield Transfer Station is the small-town transfer station on Barnum Street where locals drop off household trash and recyclables to be compacted and shipped elsewhere. Neighbors and residents from Sheffield and nearby towns use it when a trip to a landfill would be too far or for larger loads that don’t fit into curbside pickup.

Pull up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s usually a place to pull forward for weighing or entry control. The site looks like a working yard with concrete bays, compactors, and roll-off containers; recyclables are commonly placed in separate containers a short walk from the vehicle. Trucks move around, so watch for backed-up areas and take direction from the person at the booth or traffic cones. Weekends, especially spring cleanup days, tend to have lines and slower unloading.
