A local transfer station in Jackson where neighborhood trash gets compacted and sent off to a landfill elsewhere. People from nearby neighborhoods and small haulers drop off residential loads here because it’s usually closer than driving all the way to a regional landfill.
There’s typically an entrance booth and a lane to pull up toward the tipping floor or compactor; expect to stop at the booth when entering. Vehicles pull up, unload at a concrete pit or open area, and machines or compactors collect what’s been dropped. The site looks industrial - concrete bays, piles behind fences, and large trucks coming and going. Lines tend to form on busy days, so the whole process can be slow if several vehicles are ahead.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads before leaving home so nothing falls out while driving and unloading goes quickly.
- Bring gloves and a tarp for messy or loose material; it makes handling and clean-up easier at the drop-off.
- Avoid midday weekends if possible-early mornings on weekdays usually move faster and have shorter lines.
