St. Marys Transfer Station

Small-town transfer station used by residents of St. Marys and neighboring rural areas. It compacts local trash and trucks it out to regional landfills, so people who don't want the longer drive to a landfill tend to use it. The site sits on 424 S 6th St and handles typical household drop-offs rather than large commercial hauls.

The site is modest in scale with an entrance booth and a working tipping area rather than a big landfill pit. Expect to pull up to the booth first for directions, then drive onto a scale at some point - these places commonly charge by weight. Dumping takes place into large containers or a compactor area and trucks come and go; large trucks can make the place feel busy for short stretches. The surface is gravel or pavement and there may be a few marked bays or roll-off containers visible from the driveway.
