Transfer Station
Grand Island Transfer Station
5050 W Old Potash Hwy, Grand Island, NE 68803
(308) 385-5433A straightforward transfer station on the west side of Grand Island that mostly handles local residential and farm runs. Neighbors and folks hauling stuff from nearby farms use it when driving all the way to a distant landfill doesn’t make sense.
Pull up to an entrance booth and tell them what’s being dropped off, then follow the flow of traffic to where vehicles unload. The site is set up for compacting loads that get trucked out to a regional landfill, so expect to see large compactors and transfer trailers. There’s usually a short line on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan a bit of extra time if it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp or rope so nothing blows out while driving to and from the site.
- If hauling bulky or heavy items, bring help or plan for extra stops to sort and move things-unloading isn’t always fast.
- Try going early on a weekday or right when it opens to avoid weekend backups during busy seasons.
