Small, practical transfer station used by folks from Clarks Grove and nearby rural drives. Vehicles pull in, drop loads into large compacting pits or roll-off containers, then the material gets trucked out to a landfill. It’s the sort of place locals use when the landfill is too far to drive to.
A gravel driveway leads to an entrance booth and a drive-over scale; expect to stop at the booth and then back up to a disposal bay or container. The site is open-air with large metal bins and a couple of concrete tipping areas, so dress for the weather-Minnesota winters bite. Recycling and drop-off containers are usually set off to the side of the main traffic lanes, and weekend lines can form during spring cleanup. Trucks and compacting equipment are active, so take care when maneuvering and follow any directions from staff at the booth.

Before You Go
- Bring tarps or straps to keep loose material contained while driving; wind can scatter lightweight debris on the approach road.
- Plan for possible lines on Saturdays and during spring yard-cleaning season; arriving midweek often means a quicker trip.
- Have vehicle access cleared-leave trailers unhitched if needed and be ready to back into a bay, since many drop points require reversing up to the edge.
