Richmond Township Transfer Station

Richmond Township Transfer Station in Reed City is the small local transfer station where people from town and nearby rural routes drop off household trash for compaction and hauling to a larger landfill. Locals use it when driving all the way to a distant landfill isn’t worth the trip.

Pull into a gravel lot with a modest entrance booth and a handful of large containers and compacting equipment visible beyond it. Many transfer stations handle loads by weight, so expect to stop at the booth and then again at the scale or unloading area. Vehicles usually back up to a pit or container to dump, with attendants directing traffic during busy times. The site looks more industrial than tidy-mud, pavement ruts, and trucks are common, so plan accordingly.
