Humbolt (North) Transfer Station

Humbolt (North) Transfer Station is a local transfer station in north St. Louis where residential trash is compacted and sent on to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors bringing household loads or cleanup debris use this site instead of driving out to a distant landfill. It’s the kind of place people stop at when the pickup can’t handle a big load.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles slow down to check in and get weighed. The site itself is large and industrial-looking - big concrete bays, compacting equipment, and piles of put-together loads are visible from the drive aisles. Drivers usually pull up to an unloading bay or edge of a concrete pit to dump, then move on to the scale for the exit weigh-in. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect a bit of waiting during busy times.
