Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority Transfer Station

650 Shunpike Rd, Cape May Court House, NJ 08210

(609) 465-9026

Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority Transfer Station on 650 Shunpike Rd in Whitesboro‑Burleigh is the county transfer point locals use when household loads need dropping off. Instead of hauling everything to a distant landfill, loads are compacted here and then trucked out to a final disposal site.

The site looks industrial - think big trucks, roll‑off containers and a concrete tipping area where vehicles pull up to unload. There's often a small entrance booth or control point where drivers pause for direction, and many transfer stations have a scale that means a second stop on the way out if charges are by weight. Recyclables and bulky items are typically handled in separate spots off to the side while compactors and haul trucks work deeper on the lot. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly create lines, so expect slower traffic during those peak periods.

Before You Go

  • Load and sort things at home as much as possible so separating recyclables, metal or bulky items can be done quickly once on site.
  • Have someone help with heavy or awkward pieces and secure loose material with a tarp or straps; many people need to back up to the tipping area, so be ready to reverse carefully.
  • Try for early morning or a weekday visit to avoid the weekend and spring cleanup crowds when lines get long.
