Franklin Transfer Station

Franklin Transfer Station on Industrial Drive is the local place where household and small commercial loads get compacted and sent off to a regional landfill. Neighbors and small haulers use it when hauling straight to a distant landfill would take too long. The site is a transfer station type facility serving Franklin-area customers.

There will be an entrance area with an attendant booth and a place to pull up for check-in before heading to the tipping floor. The facility compacts loads and transfers them into larger trucks headed elsewhere, so expect to see roll-off containers, compactors, and transfer trailers. Lines can form, especially on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait at busy times. Vehicles move through in stages: stop at the booth, follow signs or staff direction to the drop area, then exit back past the scale if one is in use.
