Chillicothe Transfer Station

A modest transfer station on the edge of town where residents drop off household trash and smaller loads that get compacted and hauled to a landfill elsewhere. Folks from Chillicothe and nearby areas use it when hauling stuff that’s too big for curbside pickup or when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t practical.

There’s a small entrance booth where drivers stop and sort out where to go next; expect to pull up and speak with whoever is manning that station. A scale is commonly part of the process at transfer stations, so be prepared for a second stop on the way out if weights are recorded. The site is mostly concrete and big metal bays or containers, with compacting equipment and transfer trailers visible behind the working area. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so traffic and waiting are normal at busy times.
