Beaver Island Transfer Station

Small transfer station serving Beaver Island residents and anyone hauling household clean-up loads. It’s the place where trash is compacted and then trucked off the island, so locals use it instead of making a longer trip to a landfill.

Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a place to pull over before the drop-off. Vehicles are usually directed to a scale or weigh point and then to the tipping area, where loads are compacted into containers for hauling off-island. The site looks functional rather than tidy - piles, compactors, and large trucks are normal sights. Weekends and spring clean-up times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form.
