Wayne City Transfer Station sits on S Windom Street and is what locals use when the county landfill is too far to drive. Farmers hauling small loads and residents with household trash both come through here. The place is a practical stop for getting rid of stuff without the long haul out of town.
There’s an entrance booth and a weigh scale; vehicles usually stop at the booth first and then pull forward to the scale. Expect a concrete pad and large roll-off containers or compacting equipment beyond the scale where trucks drop loads. Traffic can back up sometimes, especially on weekend mornings or during spring cleanup, so be prepared to wait a bit. Bring loads bundled and easy to lift - it keeps the line moving and makes unloading simpler.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads with a tarp for safety and to prevent material blowing out while driving.
- Keep recyclables, metal, and bulky items separated in the bed or trailer so unloading goes faster.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mid-mornings and early spring weekends if possible to skip long lines.
