Shelburne Transfer Station is the small town transfer spot for Shelburne residents who need to drop off household trash and recyclables. Most people from town use it for routine cleanouts or to avoid driving all the way to a distant landfill. The site is the kind of place run by the town, meant for local residential loads.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; many New Hampshire transfer stations require a town permit. Vehicles usually pull up, sort materials into separate piles or bins, and then drive past a compacting area where trucked loads are moved offsite. The yard is modest in scale - not a huge commercial landfill - with recycling containers tucked to the side and a fenced area for larger items. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can get backed up, so there may be a short line before the booth.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have the town transfer station permit handy before pulling up so the process at the booth goes smoothly.
- Sort recyclables and bagged trash at home so unloading at the site is faster and less awkward with other cars waiting.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or spring cleanup if possible; if visiting then, be ready for a short wait and plan to stay in your vehicle until it’s your turn.
