Compactor Transfer Station

A small transfer station out on County Road Gh, used mostly by local residents and farmers who don't want to haul to a regional landfill. It’s the kind of place people stop at when clearing out a garage, dropping off household trash, or bringing farm refuse for consolidation and hauling.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to pull forward so larger trucks can get in behind. Many transfer stations use a scale and compactors on site, so loads are often weighed and then tipped into a large pit or compactor area before being trucked out. The yard is mostly gravel and concrete with a few drive-up lanes and a tall concrete wall around the tipping area; expect to walk a short distance from where a vehicle stops to where the load is dumped. Weekends and spring cleanup times can be busy, with lines forming into the road if several pickups show up at once.
