About This Location

WM Crossroads Landfill — operated by Waste Management on Mercer Road in Norridgewock, Somerset County — is Maine's only commercially owned landfill and serves as a combined disposal, transfer, and recycling drop-off site for area residents and commercial customers. The facility operates a single-sort recyclables transfer station (accepting cardboard and commingled recyclables), handles municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, tires, biosolids, yard waste, and universal waste. Norridgewock and Madison residents who hold a current town-issued landfill sticker may drop off household waste and recyclables at no charge during public drop-off hours (Wednesday through Friday 9:30 am – 6:00 pm; Saturday 7:30 am – 4:00 pm). This is a working commercial landfill and transfer station, not a curbside-style public recycling center — walk-up or unannounced commercial loads may require advance arrangement.
