Transfer Station
North Kingstown Transfer Stat
345 Devils Foot Rd, North Kingstown, RI 02852
(401) 295-4766A local transfer station in North Kingstown where residents drop off household rubbish to be compacted and hauled to the state landfill. People who don’t want to drive all the way to the central landfill use this place for quicker trips and smaller loads.
Look for an entrance booth and a scale area; vehicles usually stop to be weighed before or after unloading. The site has concrete tipping bays and a large compactor area where trucks collect the compacted load. Recycling and drop-off containers are typically grouped near the main unloading lanes, with traffic flowing in a loop so cars can pull up, unload, and exit. Weekends and spring cleanups can create lines, so be prepared for a bit of waiting during busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a photo ID and have items organized so unloading goes quickly - tarps and tied loads save time when people are moving behind you.
- Avoid peak times if possible: early weekday mornings or late afternoons are generally less crowded than weekend middays.
- Drive slowly through the site, watch for big trucks backing up, and have someone ready to help if lifting heavy items is needed.
