Transfer Station
Ludlow Transfer Station
336 Vermont Rte 100, Ludlow, VT 05149
A small transfer station in Ludlow used by town residents and people from nearby towns who don't want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. Often busy on weekends and during spring cleanup, it handles household loads that are compacted and sent out by truck.
Pull up to a staffed entrance booth where vehicles are directed onto the site; there’s usually a scale so loads are weighed before leaving. The site has several drop-off zones and large compactors or roll-off areas for different types of material, with signs and fencing marking each section. Expect gravel or paved drive lanes and a bit of dust in dry weather; larger trucks and compacting equipment operate on-site. Plan for a short wait when the line backs up, especially on Saturdays and during seasonal cleanups.

Before You Go
- Sort recyclables, compostable items, and trash at home as much as possible to speed up dropping things off.
- Bring straps or a tarp to secure loose items for the drive in and while waiting in line.
- If the lot looks full or there’s a long line at the booth, consider coming later in the day or on a weekday to avoid the rush.
