A local transfer station in Newport where residents drop off household trash to be compacted and sent on to the state's central landfill. Neighbors use it when taking smaller loads that make a long drive to the landfill impractical. It's the sort of place relied on for regular cleanouts and weekend trips with bags and small bulk items.
There will be an entrance booth and a traffic flow for cars and small trucks; drivers typically pull up, check in, and are directed where to unload. The site itself is mostly paved with large containers, a compactor area, and open tipping bays-expect a working industrial feel rather than anything polished. Loads are weighed and consolidated here before leaving for the landfill, so plan for a brief stop-and-go process rather than a quick drop-and-leave.

Before You Go
- Bring items sorted as best as possible (trash separate from anything recyclable) to speed up unloading and reduce the time spent at the ramp.
- Avoid weekend mid-mornings during spring or fall cleanup periods when lines commonly form; a weekday or late-afternoon run often moves faster.
- Secure loose materials in the back of trucks or on trailers so nothing blows out while waiting in line or driving home.
