Orange County Transfer Station No. 2 in Newburgh is the local place where residents drop off household trash to be compacted and trucked out to a landfill. People from town and nearby areas use it when hauling bags, small loads, or stuff that won’t fit in curbside pickup. It’s a working, no-frills yard rather than a recycling center with lots of amenities.
Drive up to a small entrance booth where staff check vehicles and direct traffic; there’s usually a lane to pull into and a scale you’ll cross on the way in and again on the way out since charges are by weight. The tipping floor is a big concrete pad with a compactor and transfer trailers nearby, so expect the smell and noise of heavy equipment. Recycling and bulky-item drop-offs tend to be grouped to one side, and vehicles commonly line up on weekends or during spring clean-up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or ratchet straps if hauling loose debris; wind can scatter light materials on the drive and while waiting in line.
- Arrive on a weekday morning if possible, since lines are usually shorter than weekend afternoons.
- Load vehicles so it’s easy to pull up and dump quickly-walk-around checks for loose items save time when staff are directing traffic.
