Waste Management - Laconia Transfer Station

Small transfer station in Laconia used by residents who need a closer drop-off than a distant landfill. It handles compacted loads that get trucked out, so it's mainly for household and town collections. Locals swing by with mixed loads or sorted recycling depending on what their town allows.

Drive up the short access road to a booth/entry point where vehicles are directed; have the town transfer permit handy since most New Hampshire towns require one. There’s usually a scale or weigh point as part of the flow, so expect to pause briefly on the way out if charges are by weight. The site is mostly open pavement with piles or containers and a couple of lanes for dropping off; recycling bins are typically grouped to one side. Busy times, like spring cleanup or weekend mornings, build a line, so prepare for some waiting.
