Small transfer station on O'Keefe Lane that’s used by Warwick residents and contractors who don’t want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. Trash and recyclables are compacted here and then loaded onto larger trucks to be taken offsite.
Pull up to the entrance and you’ll see a booth and a drive-over scale; many transfer stations charge by weight, so expect another stop on the way out. The lot is a wide paved tipping area with large roll-off containers and a steady stream of heavy trucks, so it can be dusty and noisy at times. Recycling containers tend to be separated from the main tip pad, and vehicles weave between bays while dropping loads. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so waits are common then.

Before You Go

- Secure loads with tarps or straps and keep photo ID or proof of residency handy in case it’s requested.
