Summit Transfer Station

Small, practical transfer station serving Summit residents who need to drop off household rubbish and recyclables. Not a landfill-trucks compact loads here and haul them out, so it’s mostly a short-term stop for local folks. Expect regular neighborhood traffic, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.

Drive up to a manned entrance booth and be prepared to pull forward slowly; there’s usually a scale involved so vehicles often stop twice, once in and once out. The site looks industrial-concrete bays, compactors, and big roll-off containers-so don’t expect landscaped grounds. Large trucks come and go, so watch for backing vehicles and follow posted signs and directions from attendants. Recycling and bulk drop-off areas are set apart from the main tipping floor, making it easier to separate loads if bringing mixed material.
