Columbia Township Transfer Station

Columbia Township Transfer Station in Grand Junction is the local spot where neighborhood trash gets dropped off, compacted, and loaded onto trucks to go to a landfill. Folks from around the township use it when hauling a load that would be awkward to take all the way to a distant landfill.

Pull up to a small entrance booth at the driveway and be prepared to stop briefly before entering the main yard. The site is a working lot with piles or bunkers and a few large compactors; big trucks come and go so give them room. Vehicles usually pull up to open bays or a tipping area to unload, then traffic moves on - there's typically a scale somewhere in and out for weight-based billing at transfer stations like this. Expect a plain, practical setup rather than anything fancy: gravel or paved surfaces, concrete walls around collection areas, and dumpsters or containers tucked off to the side.
