Jerome County Transfer Station

1178 ID-25, Jerome, ID 83338

(208) 825-4150

A small transfer station just off ID-25 in Jerome, used by locals who don't want to haul trash all the way to a distant landfill. Primarily for residential and small commercial loads, it compresses material here before trucking it out. Handy for anyone clearing out a garage or bringing regular household bags.

There’s a simple entrance with a small booth and a scale area near the drive-in, so plan to pull up and stop briefly before moving on. After check-in and weighing, vehicles are directed to a concrete tipping pad with large roll-off areas where loads are compacted and loaded for transport. The site feels industrial - big metal containers, compactors, and truck traffic - not a neat neighborhood drop-off. Weekends and seasonal cleanups tend to have more cars, so there can be a line at the gate.

Before You Go

  • Bring items loaded so they can be handed off or tipped quickly; loose, unbagged piles take longer to manage.
  • Use a truck or trailer if possible - the tipping area sits a bit higher than a sedan’s trunk and is easier to use from a pickup bed.
  • Expect to wait longer on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup; midweek afternoons are usually less busy.
