Small town transfer station used by China and nearby communities for dropping off household trash and recyclables. The place is more about getting rid of a load quickly than anything fancy, and local residents bring everything from bags to full pickup beds here.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale area that most vehicles drive over before and after unloading; expect to pull up, speak with the attendant, then move to the tipping area. The site is outdoors with compactors and large roll-off containers, so it looks industrial rather than tidy. Recycling or donation bins are usually grouped to one side, and winter weather can make the access road and parking areas icy or muddy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or ropes-loose debris blows around easily on windy days and can be a hassle to pick up.
- Bring something to help haul heavy items ( straps, a dolly, or sturdy gloves ); the tipping area is often a short walk from where vehicles park.
- Plan for lines on weekends and during spring cleanup; backing up onto the access road can be slow, so allow extra time.
