Transfer Station
MCMUA Mount Olive Transfer Station
168 Gold Mine Rd, Flanders, NJ 07836
(973) 285-8390A county transfer station in Mount Olive where residents drop off household refuse and bagged debris for compaction and onward hauling. Locals, landscapers and people doing house cleanouts use this place when hauling to a landfill directly would be a pain.
Expect a single entrance with a staffed booth to check vehicles and direct traffic; there’s usually a scale that most drivers stop at before leaving. Trucks and roll-off containers are common, so plan to share space with commercial haulers and large equipment. The site is industrial-paved lots, concrete tipping areas and big compactors-so it looks more like a working yard than a tidy drop-off spot.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency or municipal ID ready in the glovebox; it speeds the line when the attendant asks.
- Secure loose material with a tarp and tie-downs before leaving home to avoid fines or messy cleanups if wind blows through.
- Bring basic tools and gloves so debris can be unpacked or sorted on the tailgate-that saves time when backing up to a drop point.
