Waste Management - Kimmswick Transfer Station

Small transfer station in Kimmswick that local residents and small haulers use when the landfill is farther away. It’s the kind of place where loads are compacted and then hauled out to a bigger disposal site, so it feels more like a drop-and-go operation than a landfill visit.

Drive up to a manned entrance/scale area and pause at a booth or gate before being directed to a drop-off lane. Vehicles will usually pull up to a concrete pad or pit area where trash is deposited and then compacted into containers or trucks. The site is industrial in appearance - trailers, compactors, and a few big roll-off containers are common - and there’s often a short line on weekends or during spring cleanup. Expect to stack or tarp loose items so nothing blows out while driving through.
