Rocky Pond Transfer Station

Rocky Pond Transfer Station is the town transfer station in Hollis used mainly by residents to drop off household trash and recyclables. It handles loads that get compacted and then trucked out to a landfill, so it’s a local stop instead of a long drive to a disposal site. Many Hollis residents with a town permit use it regularly for routine cleanouts and recycling runs.

Drive up to a small entrance booth where staff check permits and direct traffic; there’s usually a short line on weekend mornings. A scale is on site so trucks are weighed as part of the process, and the compactor area and larger roll-off containers are visible from the drop-off lanes. Recycling bins are typically grouped together off to one side, while bulky items have their own spots farther in. The site is practical and industrial-looking-gravel or paved lanes, signage for where to pull up, and the occasional dump truck moving through.
