Rock Hampton Transfer

Rock Hampton Transfer is a transfer station in northwest Indianapolis where local residents drop off household trash for compaction and onward transport to a landfill. People who don't want to drive out to a distant county landfill often use this place instead. It's the kind of practical spot used more by Saturdays-than-weekdays traffic.

Drive in to a gated lot with a small entrance office or booth and a larger open tipping area where trucks and compactors sit. The site looks industrial - concrete bays, large roll-off containers, heavy trucks moving through - not a neat recycling center with tidy bins. Expect to pull up, show proof of residency if required, then move to a tipping area; loads are typically unloaded and then placed into larger containers for transport. Busy times, like spring clean-up weekends, can have a line of vehicles waiting to get in.
