Sandy Transfer Station

Sandy Transfer Station is the local transfer station people from Sandy and nearby spots use to drop off household junk and recyclables before it gets hauled to a landfill. It's a practical stop for anyone who doesn't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill and needs a place to unload smaller loads.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop for a scale; loads are typically weighed for charges, so there's often a second stop on the way out. The site is the kind with big compactors and truck traffic - expect to see tractor-trailers coming and going and piles of compacted material. Recycling containers are usually set off to the side past the booth, and the tipping area has staff directing traffic during busy times. Weekends and spring-cleanup days get crowded, so lines and some waiting are common.
