Fergus Falls Transfer Station is the local transfer station on 275 Airport used by residents who don't want to haul trash all the way to a distant landfill. People dropping off household loads and small trailers use it most; commercial trucks pass through too.
Drive in off Airport Road and look for a simple entrance with a small booth and a scale area; expect to stop and be weighed as you head in and out. The site is built for short stops rather than long stays, with compacting operations and trucks coming and going. In Minnesota winters the site can feel windy and cold, and like many area facilities there may be covered or indoor drop-off options for bad weather. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form even at a small transfer station.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to secure loose load tarps; wind at the airport location can pick up lightweight debris.
- Haul items in a single trip when possible so unloading is quicker; most people pull up to the same drop-off points rather than circling the yard.
- Expect some line time on weekends and during spring cleanup - plan extra time and have materials sorted before pulling into the site.
