Cedar Falls Transfer Station

Cedar Falls Transfer Station is the local transfer station in Cedar Falls used by residents and farmers needing a closer drop-off point than driving out to a distant landfill. It handles loads that get compacted and hauled off-site, so it’s a practical stop for household cleanouts and seasonal farm cleanups. Expect a working, no-frills spot rather than a tidy recycling center.

There’s usually a traffic lane with an entrance booth or scale where vehicles stop to be weighed; drivers then pull forward to the tipping area. Trucks and compactors are active, and loads are moved into larger vehicles for transport elsewhere. The site looks industrial - concrete pads, metal containers, and heavy equipment moving around - so keep a safe distance from drop-off points. Weekends and spring cleanup times can be busier, so there may be short waits at the gate.
