Westport Transfer Station & Recycling Center

Small-town transfer station that doubles as Westport's main spot for recycling and dropping off household recyclables. Neighbors, landscapers, and folks doing cleanouts bring items here to keep them out of the landfill. It’s the practical place locals use when sorting cardboard, glass, cans, plastics and the usual bulky stuff.

Drive in and pull up to a small entrance booth and keep an eye for the lanes; there’s a scale you cross on the way in and again on the way out, so plan for a short stop. The recycling bins sit off to one side, while larger drop-off bays and a few open piles are in the back-everything looks gritty and functional rather than polished. On busy Saturdays there’s often a line of trucks and trailers waiting, so allow extra time; weekday visits are noticeably quicker. Signage tells which materials must be separated and there are usually spots for common items and a few special program containers for things like electronics or bulky metal.
