Cummings Township Transfer is the small transfer station off E Sage Lake Road in Rose City used by homeowners and small contractors hauling loads that won't fit in the curbside can. It’s the kind of place people swing by when a few extra bags, old furniture, or yard debris need to go somewhere closer than a distant landfill. The site compacts loads and then hauls them out to a landfill elsewhere.
Expect a functional, no-frills spot with a drive-in entrance and space for trucks to maneuver; there’s commonly an entry booth and a scale to pass. Pull up to the booth/scale area first and be prepared to move on to an unloading area or drop-off pit after that. Large compacting trucks come and go, so leave room to back or turn if driving a trailer or pickup. Lines form most on weekends and during spring cleanup, so waits are normal at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down or cover loose material; anything that blows out of an open load creates extra work and safety hazards.
- Sort bulky metal, glass, and obvious recyclables at home so unloading at the site goes faster.
- Try for weekday mornings or late afternoons to avoid the worst lines-weekends and spring cleanup bring the biggest backups.
