Small, practical transfer station tucked into town where residents drop off household trash to be compacted and hauled elsewhere. Locals and people from nearby communities use it when hauling a load is easier than a long drive to the landfill. It feels like a working municipal place rather than a retail center.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to pull up where directed; there’s usually a place to stop for a quick check in. The site is mostly concrete and compactors or transfer pits are visible from the drop area, with roll-off trailers and trucks coming and going. Recycling or drop-off bins are often located to the side of the main tipping area, and weekend lines can get long during spring cleanup or holiday times. Traffic flows one way through the yard so follow the signs and the attendants’ directions.

Before You Go
- Bring something to secure loose trash in the truck bed-wind can blow things around when backs are open at the tipping area.
- Have smaller items boxed or bagged so unloading at the pit goes faster and doesn’t spill.
- Avoid peak times like early Saturday mornings if possible; midweek visits tend to be quicker for small residential loads.
