Spring Lake Transfer Station in Spring Lake, MN is the local drop-off where residents bring household trash and smaller loads instead of driving out to a landfill. It’s the kind of place neighbors use when cleaning out a garage or after a small project, with the typical transfer-station setup rather than a full-scale landfill.
Drive to 50524 Co Rd 4 and follow the access road to a check-in/entry booth where staff will direct where to pull up. The site is compact compared with a landfill; expect a paved area with large compacting containers or pits and outdoor bays visible from the driving lanes. In Minnesota winters parts of the process can be outdoors, so some drop-off points may be inside a covered area while others remain exposed. Many transfer stations have a scale and charge by weight, and there will usually be clear traffic flow for unloading and exiting.
