Douglas Transfer Station on Riedell Rd is the town transfer station where household loads get compacted and shipped out to a landfill elsewhere. Locals drop off small-to-medium loads here instead of driving to a distant dump, so it's the practical option for most residential cleanouts.
Pull in from Riedell Rd and plan to stop at an entrance booth or gate before moving to the drop-off lanes; this is common at transfer stations. The site is mostly open pavement with bays or compactors and recycling areas set off to the side, so expect trucks and trailers moving around. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and backing into a bay or having help to unload can speed things along. Keep a clear view of traffic flow and follow the people and arrows to the appropriate drop point.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort trash and recyclables at home and load them so unloading is quick - saves time when there's a line.
- Bring tarps, straps, gloves and sturdy shoes; loose loads and debris are easier to handle with those.
- Have town ID or vehicle registration handy in case it's requested, and try a weekday morning to avoid the weekend rush.
