Small-town transfer station in Monmouth where locals drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets trucked out to a distant landfill. Neighbors from Monmouth and nearby rural areas use it when town-run collection or curbside isn't an option.
Approach a simple entrance area with a booth or scale where vehicles briefly stop-loads are usually weighed or noted. The yard is open and utilitarian: a few large containers or compacting equipment handle the trash that gets hauled away. Expect a short drive-in, a place to unload, then a quick drive back out; on busy days there can be a line of pickups and small trailers waiting their turn. Winter conditions can slow things down, so spaces near the gate can get icy or snowy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go early on weekdays if possible-weekend and spring-cleanup traffic builds up fast.
- Secure loose items and tarp anything that could blow or spill; that speeds unloading and keeps the yard cleaner.
- Sort recyclables and bulky items at home so unloading is quicker and less confusing at the drop-off area.
