Small transfer station used by West Fargo residents and folks from nearby rural areas who don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. It handles household and small commercial drop-offs, with trucks compacting loads before hauling them elsewhere. The site is practical and noisy at times-expect trucks coming and going.
Drive up to an entrance booth where attendants direct traffic; there’s usually a short line on weekend mornings. Vehicles are guided onto a scale early in the process, so plan to stop twice - once in and once out - as loads are weighed. The yard is a mix of concrete aprons and large bins or bays, with compacting equipment and transfer trailers visible. Winter visits can be brisk and icy; the lot gets salted or plowed on busier days but dress for the cold.

- Use a truck or trailer that can back up easily; the drop-off points often require a straight-in or reverse approach to the bay.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings in spring and early summer when local cleanups fill the line; a weekday late afternoon tends to be quieter.
