Grant County Transfer Station in Ulysses is where local trash is dropped off, compacted, and then hauled out to a regional landfill. Neighbors, small haulers, and anyone not wanting the longer drive to a distant landfill use this place. It’s a practical stop for getting rid of a load without the long haul.
Drive up the paved entrance and look for a small entrance booth and scale area where vehicles funnel through; there’s usually a spot to pull up and get weighed. The transfer building is a larger bay where trucks compact the load before it’s loaded into bigger transfer trailers. Expect to see transfer trailers, compactors, and piles of sorted material nearby, with a clear place to drop off a car or pickup load. Weekends and spring cleanup bring more cars, so lines can form for the booth and scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps before getting there; loose items can be hard to manage at the drop-off and create extra fuss with wind.
- Arrive early in the day on busy weekends or community cleanup times to avoid waiting in line at the entrance booth and scale.
- Bring help for heavy items; the transfer area is set up for trucks and loaders, not for one person lifting mattresses or appliances.
