Small-town transfer station used by Norfolk residents and area farmers who don't want to haul everything out to a regional landfill. Trucks and pickups show up with household bags, construction debris, and farm clean-up loads. It’s the kind of place locals swing by when a trailer full of junk needs to get compacted and sent on.
Pull in to a lot with an entrance booth and a scale; vehicles normally stop at the booth before moving on. After the booth, follow signs or traffic flow toward the tipping area where loads are dumped into large pits or containers and then compacted. Recycling and larger-item drop-off points are usually clustered off to one side, with trailers and roll-offs visible around the yard. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect some wait time when it’s busy.

- Bring simple gloves and a tarp for loose material-uncovered loads can be messier to handle and slow things down.
- Have the truck or trailer positioned so it can back up or pull forward easily; tight turns with large loads are a hassle for everyone.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings if possible; weekday mornings or late afternoons are often quicker.
