SPSA Chesapeake Transfer Station

SPSA Chesapeake Transfer Station on Hollowell Ln is where Chesapeake residents drop off household and yard loads to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. It feels like a working yard-big trucks and a no-frills entrance rather than a polished public site. Neighbors use it when hauling stuff that’s too much for regular curbside pickup.

Expect to pull into a gated lot and approach an entrance booth/scale area before being directed where to go; transfer stations commonly use weight-based billing. There’s a main tipping area with heavy equipment moving material into larger trucks, so noise and dust are normal. Weekends get busy, especially during seasonal cleanups, so lines and slow-moving traffic aren’t unusual. Recycling drop-offs and bulky-item zones are usually off to the side of the main dumping area.
