Freeway Transfer

Freeway Transfer is the local transfer station in Burnsville where residents bring household trash and smaller cleanup loads instead of driving to a distant landfill. Neighbors with pickups, trailers or trunk-loads use it for convenient drop-off; seasonal surges are common around yard cleanup times.

Drive up the access road and there’s typically an entrance booth and a scale to stop at - the site charges by weight at most transfer stations, so expect to be weighed in and out. Pull up to a row of large concrete bays or a covered unloading area to tip or hand off materials; the facility has heavy equipment and compactors where trash is consolidated into trucks bound for another landfill. Buildings and bays feel industrial rather than tidy, and in winter some drop-off points may be indoors or semi-enclosed to keep things from freezing over.
