Exeter Transfer Station

A neighborhood transfer station where Exeter residents drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and trucked to the state landfill. Locals use it when hauling stuff that’s easier to leave nearby than driving all the way to the central landfill.

The site feels like a working yard rather than a park - drive up to an entrance booth and follow the flow of vehicles toward a scale and tipping area. Loads are usually emptied into large containers or pits and then compressed for transport, so expect to back up to a chute or platform to unload. Recycling bins and bulky-item drop spots are typically grouped to one side of the main tipping area, so keep an eye out for signs and other cars pulling in. Weekends and spring cleanup days often have longer lines, so there can be a bit of waiting during peak times.
