Small town transfer station used mainly by Rockland County residents looking for a nearer option than driving to a landfill. A working, no-frills place where curbside pickup and resident drop-offs end up getting compacted and hauled out to another site.
A single-lane entrance with an attendant booth and usually a scale to check weights, so plan to stop twice - in and out. Vehicles pull up to clearly marked bays where loads are dumped into larger compactors or pits; it looks industrial, not tidy, with big trucks moving about. Recycling and scrap areas are often set off to one side and the whole place can get dusty in dry weather or slick when it rains. Lines build up on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a short wait before dumping.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency ready to show at the booth; most town facilities require it to use the site.
- Secure loose trash and cover beds or trailers so nothing blows out while driving through; it speeds unloading and keeps the yard cleaner.
- Sort items beforehand as much as possible - separate recyclables, bulky items, and regular trash - to avoid extra back-and-forth once at the drop-off bays.
