Glocester Transfer Station

Small-town transfer station used by Glocester residents to drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets trucked to the central landfill. Short drive from Chepachet center and the kind of place neighbors swing by for weekend cleanups or after projects. It’s a working yard, not a pretty park-bring patience if it’s busy.

Drive up to an entry booth or gate where attendants typically check vehicles and direct traffic; lines can form on weekend mornings. Vehicles pull up to a scale or weigh station and then move to the unloading area where dumpsters or compacting equipment handle the load. The site looks industrial-concrete pads, big containers, and heavy equipment in the background-so wear shoes that can handle a bit of mud. Recycling and bulky-item areas are usually separated from the general trash spot, with signage or attendants pointing the way.
