Roseau County Transfer Station on Co Rd 13 in Salol is the local spot people use when they don't want to drive all the way to a landfill. Trucks and pickups show up with everything from household bags to trailer loads. It’s where loads get compacted and put on bigger trucks headed elsewhere.
Pull up to an entrance booth and you’ll likely cross a scale; many transfer stations charge by weight so expect to stop again on the way out. The yard itself is pretty compact-a booth or small office, a tipping area or bay, and big compactor trucks coming and going. Recycling and drop-off containers are usually grouped nearby, and semis line up when they’re ready to haul loads away. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can back up into the road.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and bundle things at home as much as possible-separating recyclables and metals speeds up unloading.
- Secure tarps and tie down loose loads before leaving; wind can make a mess and add hassle on the way in.
- Avoid weekend mid-mornings if possible; weekday mornings or late afternoons tend to be quieter.
