Hubbard County Northern Transfer

Small, practical transfer station on Crocus Hill Street that locals use when they don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. People from Park Rapids bring everything from household junk to loads from small jobs. It’s the kind of place where trips are in-and-out unless it’s busy on a weekend morning.

Drive up the driveway off Crocus Hill and look for the entrance booth; many transfer stations have a scale and a gate where vehicles stop to be weighed. The drop-off area is typically a compacting pit or bay where trucks take material away, so expect to back up to a bay or pull alongside a pit depending on what’s being dropped. Winter can change how things feel-some sites have indoor drop-offs for cold days, but otherwise there’s concrete and gravel, so dress for the weather. Lines build up during spring cleanup and holiday weekends, so allow extra time then.
