Transfer Station
Rogers City Transfer Station
503 W Park Dr, Rogers City, MI 49779
Rogers City Transfer Station is the local spot where household trash gets compacted and sent off to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors dropping off pickup loads or smaller carloads use it because it’s closer than driving all the way to a regional landfill.
Pull into the drive and there’s typically a small entrance area with a place to stop and sort before driving forward to the tipping face or compactors. Vehicles line up at busier times like weekend mornings and spring cleanups, so expect a short wait then. Recycling containers are often set off to the side so cars can pull around without blocking the main tip area. Loads are generally emptied into large containers or compactors and then hauled away by truck.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and cover loads to keep things from blowing out while you’re driving to and from the site.
- Bring materials loosely separated (trash vs. recyclables) so unloading goes faster and keeps traffic moving.
- Avoid peak weekend windows if possible; weekday mornings or afternoons tend to be quieter.
