Waste Management - Gasconade Transfer Station

This is the Gasconade Transfer Station in south St. Louis, where local residents and small haulers drop off household and construction-type loads to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. Neighbors bring stuff here when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t practical and the site handles a steady stream of cars and small trucks.

Pull up to an entrance area with a small drive-through booth and an obvious lane for dropping off; there’s usually a scale nearby so some vehicles stop twice. The working yard is mostly concrete and asphalt with piles and compactors; expect to see roll-off trucks and staff operating heavy equipment behind barriers. Residential vehicles typically pull up to a tipping area or skip and unload directly, then move off the scale on the way out. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines can form and patience is needed.
