Interstate Waste Services Garfield Transfer Station

Interstate Waste Services Garfield Transfer Station is a local transfer station in Garfield, New Jersey, used by residents and small haulers who don’t want to drive out to a distant landfill. It’s the kind of place people bring curbside-level loads, bagged household trash, and small cleanups rather than commercial-sized roll-offs. Expect a busy, industrial-feeling yard with trucks coming and going.

Drive up to an entrance booth where attendants direct traffic and point to the unloading area; there’s usually a scale you cross so vehicles are weighed in and out. The yard is compact and noisy - big compactors and covered bays are visible from the drive lanes, and larger trucks maneuver through regularly. Pull up to the assigned bay or tipping floor as directed, unload, then return to the scale for exit weighing and final settlement. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so there can be a short wait before getting to the booth.
