Transfer Station

Columbus transfer Station

Transfer Street Rd, Columbus, NM 88029

Get Directions

Small, working transfer station on the edge of town that most residents and farmers use when a trip to the regional landfill isn’t worth it. Trucks and pickups come through for regular household and farm cleanups, especially during planting and harvest seasons. It’s the kind of place locals drop by with trailers or pickup loads rather than making a long drive out of town.

Drive up to a single entrance where a small booth and a scale are visible; vehicles usually stop at the booth first and then pull forward to the unloading area. The site has open tipping bays and a large compactor area where loads get consolidated before being hauled off. Expect a mix of farm trucks and residential pickups; weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest. The grounds are functional rather than tidy, with gravel drives, signage for traffic flow, and occasional lines of vehicles waiting to unload.

Before You Go

  • Bring whatever tie-downs and tarps are needed; loads with loose debris can be awkward to manage if wind picks up during unloading.
  • Have items sorted in the truck or trailer so that bulky stuff and smaller loose material can be unloaded quickly - saves time when there’s a line.
  • Plan for possible wait times on weekends and during seasonal cleanups; showing up midweek or early in the morning usually gets the fastest turnaround.
