Small transfer station in Breezewood used by local residents dropping off household loads before they get hauled out to a landfill. Mostly handy for people who don't want to drive to a bigger landfill several towns over.
A single entrance with a small gate/booth area and a scale somewhere near the drive - many cars and small trailers stop there to be weighed. Vehicles pull up to a tipping floor or compacting area where attendants direct where to unload; big roll-off trucks and compactors are visible behind the tipping area. The site looks industrial: concrete pads, fenced perimeter, and piles or containers for different loads tucked away from the drive lane. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be busiest, so expect a line at peak times.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and have loads tied down; loose debris is a hassle to handle and can slow the process for everyone.
- Arrive with trash sorted by type the way other local transfer stations do (trash separate from bulky items) so unloading goes quicker.
- Have a clear plan for trailer placement and where to stand while staff gives directions so vehicles keep moving and blocking is minimized.
