Transfer Station

Walker/Hackensack Transfer Site

4524 44th St NW, Hackensack, MN 56452

(218) 675-6807

A small transfer station used by Hackensack residents who need somewhere closer than a distant landfill. People bring household loads and smaller construction or yard debris here; trucks compact the material and haul it off-site. The site is practical rather than fancy - built to get vehicles in and out and keep things moving.

There’s usually a drive-in lane with an attendant booth and a scale nearby, so plan for a short stop at both. Vehicles pull up to the tipping area where waste gets compacted into larger containers or trailers. In winter months, many northern facilities have sheltered or indoor drop-off options and shorter hours, so expect ramps and covered areas rather than open pits. Recycling and bulk-drop spots tend to be off to one side, and weekends can get busy during spring cleanup.

Before You Go

  • Cover loads with a tarp for loose debris - wind and highway travel can turn a neat load into a mess before arrival.
  • Bring help for heavy items; there’s usually a short walk from the vehicle to the drop area and lifting docks can be awkward alone.
  • Avoid peak weekend times if possible - early weekday mornings usually move faster and lines are shorter.
