Oceana County Transfer Station

Oceana County Transfer Station is the county transfer station on E M-20 in Shelby, used mostly by local residents dropping off household and yard loads. It’s a practical stop for people who don’t want to drive all the way to a distant landfill. The site handles compacting and shipping of trash on to a landfill elsewhere.

Pulling in, there’s typically an entrance point with a small booth or gate and a scale nearby, so plan for a short stop while lanes are checked. Vehicles then move to a tipping/compaction area where loads are emptied into larger containers that get hauled out later. The yard is more functional than tidy - expect concrete or gravel surfaces, big trucks and compactors, and piles or containers rather than neatly labeled bins. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually bring a line, so wait times can grow.
