Waste Management - Basalt Transfer Station & Recycling Drop

This is the Basalt Transfer Station & Recycling Drop on Park Ave, the local spot people use to drop off household recyclables and small loads. Neighbors and small haulers swing by to keep paper, cardboard and other recyclables out of the trash. It’s a practical place for anyone in town who wants to sort and drop items that don’t belong in curbside bins.

Pull into the entrance near the little booth and be prepared to slow down and wait your turn; there’s a scale/checkout area at many transfer-style sites so expect a short stop at a booth. The recycling bins and drop-off areas are generally grouped together-paper and cardboard in big containers, glass and cans nearby, and a separate spot for bulky items or special recycling programs. The site has a workaday, slightly dusty feel with trucks coming and going; weekends and spring cleanup times can get noticeably busy. Staff usually help point to the right container, but bring materials sorted as much as possible to keep things moving.
