Fredericktown Transfer Station

A small transfer station just off S Chamber Drive in Fredericktown where locals drop off household trash and the site compacts loads before they get hauled out to a landfill. Neighbors and folks from around Madison County use it when driving all the way to a distant landfill isn’t worth the trip.

Pull in to a single lane driveway and approach a small entrance booth or scale area - expect to stop briefly so your load can be checked and weighed. The yard is mostly concrete with large bays or roll-off containers and a compacting area where big trucks collect the compacted loads. Recycling bins, if present, are usually set to the side of the entrance road rather than mixed in with the trash piles. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be busiest, so lines can form during those times.
