Benson Transfer Station

Small-town transfer station tucked just off Madison Street that locals use when a quick drop-off is needed instead of driving out to a distant landfill. Mostly used by Benson residents and people hauling yard debris or household cleanouts. It’s the sort of place where pickups and trailers are common on weekday mornings.

There’s a gate and an entrance booth where vehicles line up to be directed; cars and trucks pull up, pay at the booth, then move through to the tipping area. A scale is usually part of the flow, so expect to stop twice for weight if bringing a large load. The site feels industrial - compactors, concrete pads, and piles that are being moved around - and recycling bins sit off to one side of the main drop-off area. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form.
