Waste Management - Rochester Transfer Station

Small transfer station off Isinglass Drive that locals use when hauling household trash or a full carload from a spring cleanup. Neighbors, contractors, and anyone from Rochester who doesn't want to drive to a distant landfill stop here. It's the kind of place where town permits and quick trips are the norm.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s usually a scale and a spot to pull forward for inspection or weighing. The yard is compact - a pile area and compactors rather than a big landfill pit - and trucks load material to be hauled elsewhere. Recycling containers are typically grouped to one side of the lot, while trash drop-off lanes sit closer to the compaction area. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanouts, so expect some waiting when it's busy.
