Transfer Station
Dalton Township Transfer Station
291 Michillinda Rd, Muskegon, MI 49445
Dalton Township Transfer Station in Muskegon is the local spot where residential trash gets dropped off, compacted and then hauled to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors bring pickup loads and small trailers here instead of driving all the way to a distant dump.
Pull up to an entrance booth and be ready to pull through a scale area-many transfer stations charge by weight, so expect to stop on the way out as well. The site has a few large bays and a compacting area; vehicles usually line up to unload into the proper pit or container. Recycling containers are often off to one side, and there's a lot of concrete, trucks, and metal chutes to navigate. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines and waiting are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads and have items easy to toss over the side; unloading from a pickup is much faster when things are reachable.
- Separate obvious recyclables and bottles beforehand - Michigan’s bottle/can deposit system can affect what gets taken where.
- Expect truck traffic and watch for backing vehicles; give large haulers plenty of space when moving around the bays.
