Auburn Transfer Station is the town transfer station in Auburn, NH, used by residents to drop off household trash and recyclables. It’s the smaller, local kind of place that towns run so people don’t have to drive all the way to a distant landfill.
Pull up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop - most town stations have a scale and a check-in point before you go any farther. The site has compactors and large roll-off containers where trash is loaded and later trucked out; it looks more industrial than tidy, with piles, bays, and heavy equipment around. Recycling areas are usually separated from the trash area, and traffic can back up at popular times like weekend mornings or spring cleanup. Vehicles line up when it’s busy, so expect short waits and to follow staff direction for where to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring whatever town permit or sticker is required - many New Hampshire transfer stations won’t let you in without proof of residency.
- Secure and tarp loose loads so wind doesn’t scatter debris while driving into and out of the site.
- Avoid peak times if possible; weekend mornings and early spring weekends are commonly the busiest and have the longest lines.
