Northern Transfer Station in Romney is the local spot where residents drop off household trash for compaction and hauling to a landfill elsewhere. Lots of folks from nearby valleys use this place because driving all the way to a distant landfill can be a full-day trip in these parts.
Pull in to find an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles stop before heading to the tipping area. The site is mostly open yard with large compactors and roll-off containers, not a neat storefront - plan for dust in dry weather and mud when it rains. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanouts, so expect short waits at the gate. In winter, mountain roads can make getting there slower than the map suggests.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads; winds and the compacting process can scatter debris if things aren’t secured.
- Have items separated by type in your vehicle so unloading is quicker - it saves time when there’s a line.
- Use quieter weekdays if possible; less traffic means fewer backups and easier maneuvering with a trailer or truck.
