Merton Transfer Station

Merton Transfer Station on County Road Ec in Hartland is the place locals and small haulers use when a trip to a distant landfill isn't practical. It’s a transfer station, meaning trash and recyclables are compacted on site and then hauled off to another disposal location.

At the entrance there’s usually a small booth and a scale; many transfer stations use weight-based fees, so expect to stop at the booth and possibly again on the way out. The yard looks industrial - large metal containers, concrete tipping areas and compacting equipment dominate the site. Pull up in lanes like a drive-through and follow the traffic flow to the tipping area; having items sorted before getting out of the vehicle makes the process quicker. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so allow extra time then.
