Republic Services McCook Transfer Station

A working transfer station on the edge of McCook where local residents and small haulers drop off household loads that get compacted and trucked out to a landfill. It's the kind of place used when driving all the way to a distant landfill isn't worth it.

The property is industrial - concrete bays, compactors and big transfer trailers coming and going. There’s an entrance booth and a scale area to pass through, so be prepared for a couple of stops as trucks are weighed and paperwork is handled. Pull up slowly into the lanes; signs and cones usually funnel cars to the appropriate unloading bay. Expect trucks and heavy equipment moving around, and a fair amount of noise and dust on windy days.
