Transfer Station

Warren Transfer Station

Harold Ave, Warren, MI 48089

Get Directions

A small-town transfer station where Warren residents drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and hauled off to the state landfill. Folks from town use it when they don’t want to make the longer trip to the central landfill. It’s the kind of place that’s handy for typical cleanouts and yard debris runs.

Drive in on Birch Swamp Road and look for a low, functional site with a small entrance booth and traffic lanes; vehicles pull up to the booth and then move on to the unloading area. The yard is set up for quick drops and there’s visible equipment for compacting and loading trucks. Expect a mix of cars, pickup trucks, and small trailers on busy days, and some queuing at the entrance on weekends or during spring cleanup. Recycling containers are usually set off to the side of the main drop area and signs mark where to leave different items.

Before You Go

  • Bring something to cover loose loads-tarp straps or nets-so things don’t blow out while driving in or waiting in line.
  • Plan to go on a weekday morning if possible; weekends and early spring afternoons get the longest lines.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and gloves and have a passenger ready to help unload large or awkward items from trucks or trailers.
