Fairview Transfer Station is the local transfer station on Broad Avenue that residents use to drop off household trash and smaller loads rather than drive out to a distant landfill. Expect it to be busy at times - this part of New Jersey sees a lot of daily traffic and county-run facilities nearby tend to get crowded.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a scale; vehicles typically stop to be weighed and then pull forward to unload. The site is mostly concrete and pavement with compactors and large containers; loads are condensed here and then hauled out by larger trucks. Recycling bins are often set off to the side past the entrance, so keep an eye out as the driveway bends. Weekends and spring cleanup times can back traffic up, so there may be a line to get in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Arrive prepared to pull up to a scale and then stop again after unloading - the process commonly involves a weigh-in and a weigh-out.
- Secure loose items and tarp any open loads before driving in; it makes unloading quicker and keeps debris from blowing around.
- Try to come early on weekend mornings if possible; heavy traffic and lines are typical later in the day or during seasonal cleanups.
