Boise Transfer Station

Boise Transfer Station is the local spot where household and yard debris get dropped off, compacted, and sent out to a landfill. Neighbors from Boise and nearby areas use it when a trip to a distant landfill would be a pain. It’s the kind of place people swing by for a load of rubbish after a weekend project.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to slow down - there’s usually a scale in the driveway so vehicles may be routed back through after dumping. The site is a working yard: piles of compacted trash, roll-off areas, and concrete pads with bins; it’s not tidy like a store lot. Pull up to the numbered or marked bays when instructed and follow the flow of traffic; staff typically direct vehicles where to unload. On busy weekends expect lines and a bit of vehicle shuffle as trucks and cars jockey for position.
