Granger Disposal Center of Lansing is the local disposal site on Wood Road used by residential drivers and small haulers in the area. Located at 16500 Wood Rd, it’s the place neighbors head to when they need to drop off household junk or a full trailer load.
Expect a typical transfer/disposal layout with an entrance booth and a scale near the drive-many sites charge by weight, so be ready to stop again on the way out. The lot is large enough for trucks and trailers; pull up to the booth and follow the flow of traffic past piles and containers. Visual cues like signs and concrete ramps point to drop-off spots, and the whole site looks industrial with compactors, open bays, and heaps of material. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up with a line of vehicles waiting to get in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before leaving home; loose debris can fall off and make the process slower or cause a mess.
- Sort bottles and cans at home for Michigan’s deposit system so they’re ready to go where needed instead of mixed in with other trash.
- Avoid peak times if possible-early weekday mornings tend to move faster than weekend afternoons.
