Turner Transfer Station on Dump Rd is the small-town transfer station where Turner residents drop off household trash and recyclables; loads are compacted here and then trucked out to a landfill. It's the kind of place locals use when hauling a trailer or clearing out a garage rather than driving to a distant landfill.
The site looks like a working yard with containers, compactors and places to unload - typical transfer station setup. Many of these stations have a small entrance booth and a scale, so be prepared to pull up and wait your turn if there's a line. Vehicles are usually sent to different drop-off spots for trash, bulky items and recyclables, so sorting ahead of time helps. Surfaces can be gravel or paved and get dusty or muddy depending on the weather.

Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and bulky items in the car before getting in line; it makes unloading faster and less awkward.
- Tie down or cover loose loads - wind and passing trucks can send paper and light debris everywhere.
- Skip peak times if possible: weekends and spring clean-up periods tend to have the longest lines, so allow extra time.
