Maxwell Transfer Station

Maxwell Transfer Station is the small county transfer station just off County Road 99W that locals use when the landfill feels too far. Farmers, renters and homeowners drop off household junk, yard clippings and bags of trash here. It’s the kind of place where a pickup truck or a small trailer is the usual rig.

Drive up to a single entrance where there’s a booth and a short line of vehicles most weekends; expect to pause at a scale and then pull forward to unload. The site is mostly concrete bays and large compactor pits with piles of material behind chain-link fencing, and the recycling area is usually set to one side past the booth. Loads are compacted and trucked out from here rather than buried on site, so it feels more like a transfer yard than a landfill. Weekends and spring cleanup days often have lines, so don’t be surprised if there’s a wait.
