Transfer Station

Sanders County Transfer Sta

5376 MT-200, Thompson Falls, MT 59873

(406) 827-3482

Small county transfer station just off MT-200 that local residents and small haulers use to drop off household and yard debris. It’s the sort of place people swing by instead of making the long drive to a distant landfill, especially when hauling a trailer or truckload.

A simple gate/booth at the entrance with a drive-up area for unloading; large roll-off containers or a compacting pit sit beyond that. Expect a gravel or paved pad where vehicles pull up to toss loads, then back out past a scale-many transfer stations use weight-based charges. Recycling bins, if present, are usually grouped to one side, and weekend traffic can pile up during spring cleanup and fall burn seasons.

Before You Go

  • Bring straps or tarps ready to secure loose material while driving; wind on MT-200 can blow debris around on the way in.
  • If towing a trailer, approach slowly and line up straight for an easier unload - backing with a full trailer is harder than it looks.
  • Plan for slower movement on weekends and in winter; packed snow or ice and peak drop-off times mean waiting in a short line.
