Waste Management - Devils Lake Transfer Station

Small regional transfer station in Devils Lake used by local households and contractors who don't want to drive to a distant landfill. It handles loads that get compacted and then trucked out to a larger disposal site. Expect a practical, working facility rather than anything fancy.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop for directions - there’s usually a scale nearby and fees at transfer stations are commonly calculated by weight. Vehicles pull up to different drop-off bays or compactors; smaller cars and trailers often use one lane while roll-offs and pickups use another. The yard is mostly gravel or paved with piles and container units; recycling bins tend to be off to one side. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait during busy times.
