Small transfer station on Park Ave in Lincoln that local residents use for household trash and recyclables. The site compacts loads here before trucks haul them off to a landfill elsewhere. Handy for anyone who'd rather not drive all the way to a distant landfill.
Drive in past a small entrance booth and likely cross a scale-many transfer stations charge by weight, so be prepared to stop again on the way out. Pull up to concrete bays or open tipping areas where trucks and compactors sit; traffic can bottleneck on weekends and during spring cleanup. Recycling bins and cardboard drop-offs are usually off to the side, so separating those materials before unloading speeds things up. The place is functional and a bit dusty, with big trucks and compactors working, so expect noise and some dust.

Before You Go
- Load and secure items so they’re easy to unload-tarps and tie-downs save time and keep debris from blowing around.
- Aim for early weekday mornings to avoid the busiest lines; weekends and spring cleanup see the longest waits.
- Bring gloves and closed-toe shoes, and sort recyclables from trash at home so dropping off goes faster.
