(660) 882-4020Boonville Solid Waste Transfer is the town's transfer station where local trash gets compacted and loaded onto bigger trucks for hauling out of town. Neighbors use it when the weekly pickup won't take a big load or when a trip to a distant landfill isn't convenient. It’s a small, workmanlike place that sees a steady stream of pickup trucks and small trailers.
Drive up to an entrance booth or gate area where attendants usually direct vehicles; there’s often a scale nearby so trucks may be weighed coming and going. The site has concrete pads and large metal containers or tipping areas where loads are emptied and compacted, and big transfer trucks come and go. Expect the sound and smell of normal solid refuse handling, and plan for a short stop to sort or unload items from a truck bed. Weekends and spring-cleanup times commonly have a line, so traffic can back up toward the road.
