Transfer Station

Republic Services Westmoreland County Transfer Station

350 Poorhouse Rd, Montross, VA 22520

(804) 493-8825

A no-frills transfer station where local residents and small haulers drop off household trash for compaction and onward hauling. Located on Poorhouse Road in Montross, it’s the sort of place people use when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t practical.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the driveway; vehicles typically stop at the booth first, then drive onto the scale and head to an unloading area. Expect to see large compactors and roll-off trucks moving through, and a concrete pad or pit where loads are emptied. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there’s often a bit of traffic to navigate as trucks maneuver in tight spaces.

Before You Go

  • Bring your load covered and secured for the drive in; it makes unloading easier and keeps loose debris off the road.
  • Have the vehicle sorted by type of material beforehand if possible - it speeds things up when directing traffic to the right spot.
  • Plan for some waiting time during mornings and weekends; arrive as early in the day as practical to avoid the longest lines.
