Lincoln Cty Landfill Transfer

221 N Wallace St, Ivanhoe, MN 56142

(507) 694-1773

Small-town transfer station used by Ivanhoe residents to drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets trucked out to a larger landfill. The place sees a mix of pickups, trailers, and the occasional small box truck. Locals swing by for regular loads or bigger cleanups when driving to a distant landfill isn’t worth it.

A single entrance with an attendant booth sits near the front; pull up to the booth first for directions. After that, there’s typically a short drive over a scale and a few bays where trucks and dumpsters are emptied and compacted. The site feels utilitarian-concrete pads, a couple of roll-off containers, and a compacting area where larger loads get processed. Winters here affect operations, so expect snow-cleared lanes and possibly indoor drop-off for some materials during the cold months.

Before You Go

  • Bring straps or a tarp for loose items; windy days can scatter light debris once a load is up on the pad.
  • Plan to arrive early on weekend mornings-lines tend to form after local cleanups and community events.
  • Have loads sorted when pulling up: separating bulky items from bagged household trash speeds things along and keeps traffic moving.
