Eagle Lake Transfer Station on Convent Rd in Eagle Lake is where locals take loads that are too big for curbside pickup; the place compacts trash and sends it off to a landfill elsewhere. People from town and nearby camps use it when a full pickup or a long drive to a distant landfill isn't ideal.
Expect a working yard with trucks and compacting equipment - it won’t look tidy like a retail lot. There is usually somewhere to pull up and unload, so have items ready to go when it’s your turn. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, so lines can form. Because loads are compacted and hauled out, turnover is generally quicker than making the trip to a distant landfill.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and stage items in the vehicle before getting to the gate so unloading goes faster and traffic keeps moving.
- Bring gloves, sturdy footwear, and straps or tarps for loose loads - handling can be dirty and windy.
- Try to avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; midweek or late afternoons often move faster.
