Small transfer station on the north side of Wheeling that locals use when they don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. Trucks and pickup loads come through; expect a mix of contractor drop-offs and residential cars. It’s the kind of place people swing by for cleanup runs or after yard work.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale you drive over - sites like this typically weigh vehicles so expect to stop twice. Pull up to the booth first, then follow signs or staff directions toward the unloading area and the compaction bays. The lot is mostly concrete and industrial-looking, with piles and large containers visible from the entrance. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so there may be a line of trucks waiting to get in.

Before You Go
- Keep loads covered and secure for the short drive in; loose debris can mean extra hassle at the drop-off.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables before pulling up so unloading goes faster and more smoothly.
- If hauling a trailer or a full truck, allow extra time on weekends and during neighborhood cleanup season when lines get longer.
