Bedford Town Transfer Station is the town-run transfer station on Chubbuck Road used by Bedford residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables. New Hampshire towns commonly require permits for these sites, so most users arrive with a town sticker or proof of residency.
The site has a simple drive-in layout with an entrance booth and open areas where large compactors or roll-off containers sit; trash brought here gets compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Vehicles pull up to the booth or scale area, a quick check of permit or residency is typical, then drivers are directed to the proper drop-off spot. Expect piles of separated materials - recyclables, bulky items, and lined trash areas - and the constant coming-and-going of large trucks. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be noticeably busier, so there can be lines.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring town ID or the transfer station permit sticker so entry is smooth.
- Sort recyclables and bulky items at home as much as possible to speed up unloading at the site.
- Secure loads with tarps or straps and have gloves/tools handy; moving loose debris and awkward items is easier with a helper.
