Small-town transfer station off Walden Avenue that Depew and nearby residents use to drop household trash and recyclables. It’s the kind of place people go when hauling a load that’s easier to leave at a local spot than drive out to a distant landfill. Expect a working, no-frills facility rather than anything fancy.
Drive up to an entrance area with a booth and a scale nearby where trucks are weighed - they compact loads here and then send them off by truck. Pull up, sort a bit if needed, and follow signs to the compaction building or recycling bins; the yard is mostly concrete and big roll-off containers. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a short wait to get through the gate. Vehicles with trailers might need extra space to maneuver, so go slow and be ready to stop at the scale again when leaving.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Load loose items into a truck bed or covered trailer so nothing blows out while driving; secure light debris with a tarp.
- Separate cardboard and loose recyclables ahead of time so unloading goes quicker when it’s your turn.
- Plan for weekend crowds during spring and fall - mornings on weekdays usually move faster if that’s an option.
