Transfer Station
Highway 136 Transfer Station
34195 US Hwy 136, Ravenwood, MO 64479
Small-town transfer station serving Ravenwood and nearby rural residents. Trucks compact loads here and then haul them out to a landfill, so this is where people drop off household cleanouts and yard debris instead of driving far for disposal.
The site is the kind of place with an entrance booth and a drive-up area where vehicles pull up to drop off; expect to wait behind farm trucks or trailers on busy days. There’s usually a large compactor or roll-off area and piles or containers where crews load material into outbound trucks. Bring items somewhat sorted and make sure everything is secured in the bed or trailer before pulling in. Weekends, especially during yard-cleanup season, tend to be busiest and lines can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads tied down and tarped so nothing blows out while driving; loose trash shifts and causes delays when unloading.
- Unload the heavy stuff first and keep small loose items contained in boxes or bins to speed up the process at the drop-off point.
- Bring work gloves and a broom for sweeping out pickup beds; it saves time and keeps the next person from dealing with loose debris.
