Warren County Transfer Station in Pittsfield is a small transfer station where local residents drop off household junk and smaller loads that get compacted and trucked out to a larger landfill. Neighbors use it when hauling things that don’t make sense to drive all the way to distant landfills.
Expect a modest gate area with an entrance booth and a drive-up lane where vehicles queue to be weighed or checked. Vehicles pull up to the booth, then proceed into the tipping area where loads are emptied and compacted into larger haul trucks. The site feels industrial - piles, compactors, and a few large roll-off bays - so dress for dust and grime. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so plan for a short wait if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Load trucks and trailers so materials can be tipped in one go; loose, awkward items slow the process and may require extra handling.
- Keep recyclables and yard debris separated from household trash before getting to the booth to speed up unloading.
- Bring gloves, a tarp, and tied bags; the tipping area is dusty and items can shift when dumped.
