Transfer Station
Citizens Transfer Station
2324 S Belmont Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46221
Small, working transfer station in the south side neighborhood off S Belmont Ave that locals use when they don't want to drive all the way out to a regional landfill. People bring residential loads and contractors drop off smaller hauls; the place is built for quick drop-offs rather than long waits.
Drive up to an entrance area where a booth or gate controls access and directs traffic; pull up close so the attendant can see the load. There are compactors and large roll-off areas visible from the drive lane, and trucks move material out regularly. Traffic backs up on busy weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so expect pauses and some waiting. The site feels industrial - concrete pads, heavy equipment, and clearly marked lanes for incoming vehicles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items staged and easy to unload; saves time and keeps traffic moving for everyone.
- Go during weekday mid-mornings if possible - weekends and first warm Saturdays of spring get the longest lines.
- Have the back of trucks or trailers cleared so attendants can quickly inspect load; curbside-style piles slow things down.
