Menominee Transfer Station at W6111 Elmwood Rd is where locals drop off pickup loads and small hauls when a trip to the distant landfill isn't ideal. It’s a transfer station, meaning trash is compacted there and then trucked out to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors use it for household cleanouts, trailers and the odd bulky item.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and be ready to stop at a scale-loads are often weighed coming in and sometimes again on the way out. After the booth there’s a place to pull up and unload while larger transfer trucks move material offsite; the site looks industrial, with concrete aprons, metal containers and heavy equipment. Lines build up on weekends and especially during spring cleanup, so expect a wait then.
Facility Information

- Sort trash and recyclables in the vehicle beforehand so unloading goes faster and fewer trips back-and-forth are needed.
- Bring gloves and have loose items secured or boxed; wind and truck movement can send loose trash everywhere during tipping.
- If possible, aim for weekday mornings to avoid the weekend crush-busy times can add a long wait to a short trip.
