jerome transfer station

Jerome Transfer Station is the local transfer station in Jerome where residents drop off household trash and smaller loads that get compacted and hauled out to a landfill. People from town and the surrounding rural areas use it when driving all the way to a distant landfill isn’t convenient. It’s a working, no-frills place-more practical than pretty.

Drive in and pull up to the entrance booth to check in; after that vehicles typically move on to a scale so loads can be weighed, since transfer stations commonly charge by weight. The site has large concrete bays and compactors, with delivery lanes for trucks and a separate area where smaller vehicles unload. Weekends and spring clean-up bring the longest lines, and there’s often a steady rumble of trucks and compacting equipment in the background.
