Lincoln Small Vehicle Transfer Station

5101 N 48th St, Lincoln, NE 68504

(402) 441-8104

A local transfer station where Lincoln residents and small haulers drop off household and farm-related loads for compaction and onward hauling to a regional landfill. People who'd rather not drive out to a distant landfill use this spot for convenience. It’s the kind of place frequented by folks hauling garden waste, old furniture, or small trailers from nearby acreage.

There’s usually an entrance booth with staff handling vehicle check-in and directing traffic; expect to pull up and show ID or vehicle info if requested. A weigh scale is common at these stations, so vehicles often stop twice - once in and once out - since charges are typically by weight. The site has large bays or a tipping area where loads are dumped and a compactor or transfer trailer where material is gathered for onward trucking. Weekends and spring cleanup draw lines, and farm trucks or small trailers are a frequent sight.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with a tarp or tie-downs - loose debris blows off during the drive and can slow unloading.
  • Bring gloves, a rake or a shovel; being able to break apart or pull out material makes the drop-off faster.
  • Avoid late-morning weekend visits if possible; early weekday or early morning trips usually move quicker.
