Shoshone County Transfer Station

Small county transfer station used mostly by local residents hauling household and yard debris. It’s the kind of place people in Kellogg swing by when a pickup load or truckbox needs dropping off instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill. Located on Silver Valley Road, it handles compacting and shipping loads out of the valley.

Pull up to a modest entrance with a booth and a scale area where vehicles are weighed; expect to stop for that step. There’s a fenced working yard with compactors and roll-off areas rather than piles of loose trash like a dump. Typical visits involve driving in, waiting if there’s a line, unloading by hand or with a helper, and then leaving after a final weigh-out. On busy weekends or during spring cleanup the line can be long, so timing matters.
