Transfer Station

Hersey Township Transfer Station

1983 S 170th Ave, Hersey, MI 49639

Get Directions

Small county transfer station just off S 170th Ave that locals use when hauling a load too big for a curbside pickup. Farmers, DIYers and folks clearing out a garage tend to show up here more than casual recyclers. It compacts trash on site and sends it on to a landfill elsewhere, which is why it feels more like a working yard than a dump.

A single entrance with a little booth near the drive where vehicles line up; plan to pull forward so the next truck can get in behind. There’s a scale to cross either on the way in or out, so expect to stop twice if bringing a full load. Recycling bins are usually off to one side and the compacting area looks like a bunch of large containers and machinery - not a pleasant place to linger. Weekends, especially in spring or after storms, get backed up and maneuvering a trailer takes extra patience.

Before You Go

  • Bring any redeemable Michigan deposit bottles and cans to a redemption center first - most people do that before stopping here.
  • Secure loose items in trucks or trailers; wind and tipping are common in the open yard so tarps and tie-downs save time and headaches.
  • Have proof of residency ready in the dash or glovebox if required by local sites, and pull up to the booth only when the line moves to avoid blocking traffic on the road.
