Meridian Transfer Station

Meridian Transfer Station is the local transfer station in Meridian where household and small commercial loads are compacted before being hauled off to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors and contractors use it when a trip to a distant landfill doesn't make sense, especially for mixed or bulky loads. The yard sits on W Franklin Rd, easy to spot from the street.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; larger vehicles pull up to a scale and are weighed, so expect a second stop on the way out. The site is a working yard with compactors and roll-off areas, not a tidy drop-off like a retail recycling center. Recycling bins or drop areas are usually to the side of the main traffic flow, while larger refuse bays are straight ahead. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have queues, so plan for a bit of waiting.
