Morrice Transfer Station

1470 W Britton Rd, Morrice, MI 48857

(517) 625-7005

A small transfer station serving Morrice and nearby rural areas where residents drop off household trash to be compacted and hauled off to a larger landfill. Neighbors and people hauling loads from surrounding farms tend to use it because it saves a longer drive to a distant landfill. The site is the kind of place locals swing by when doing a yard-cleanup or clearing out a truck bed.

Drive up the lane and you’ll see an entrance booth where vehicles pause before proceeding to the tipping area; this is a working yard with compacting equipment and large containers. The scale is typically passed on the way in or out so vehicles get weighed, and loads are then dumped into pits or containers to be compacted. Recycling drop-offs are usually grouped off to the side rather than mixed with trash, and the whole place has an industrial, dusty feel-gravel, trucks, and tire tracks. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup times are noticeably busier, with a line of pickups and trailers waiting to get in.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose items and tarp loads so debris doesn’t blow out during the drive in; trailers come in here often and wind can be an issue.
  • Separate deposit-eligible bottles and cans beforehand if planning to return them elsewhere-Michigan’s bottle deposit system makes that worth the trouble.
  • Expect some waiting on weekend mornings or during spring cleanups; arriving midweek or later in the afternoon can be quieter.
