Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Julia Street Transfer Station is the transfer station at 864 Julia Street in Elizabeth, NJ where local residents and haulers drop off loads that get compacted and trucked out to a landfill. It’s the kind of place people use when hauling a pile of household junk or construction debris and don’t want to drive to a distant landfill.
The site looks industrial - concrete bays, large roll‑off containers and the constant movement of trucks and loaders. There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale, and vehicles are usually weighed with loads compacted before being hauled off-site. Pull up to the booth/entry, get directed to a dumping bay or compactor area, then plan on the scale stopping again if weights are taken at exit. Weekends and spring-cleanup season often mean lines and slow-moving traffic.
