Fremont Transfer Station

Fremont Transfer Station at 1200 Hamilton St is the local drop-off point where household and farm trash gets compacted and sent on to regional landfills. Neighbors from Fremont and nearby farming areas use it when hauling trailers or doing big cleanups. It's the closer option compared with driving out to a distant landfill.

Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a lane for vehicles; there is usually a scale that trucks go over and then stop again on the way out since loads are handled by weight. The yard is mostly open with concrete tipping areas and large compactors or roll-off containers that hold loads before they head out on a transfer truck. Recycling or drop-off containers are often grouped to one side of the entrance, and piles of compacted material and metal are visible beyond the tipping floor. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form at the gate.
