Delaware County Transfer Station is the county transfer station on US-42 in Delaware, Ohio, used by residents who need to drop off household trash for compacting and removal to a landfill elsewhere. Locals go here when hauling straight to a distant landfill would be a hassle.
Expect a vehicle entrance with an attended booth and a scale on the drive in; many transfer stations charge by weight so stopping on the way out is common. The site has a large paved area with transfer trailers and commercial trucks moving around, so proceed slowly and watch for backing vehicles. There are compacting operations and transfer containers where loads get dumped before being hauled off. Lines can form, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for some wait time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp any loose material so nothing blows out while driving to and from the station.
- Have the vehicle set up to back into a spot if needed-clearing out a truck bed is easier that way and it keeps traffic moving.
- Avoid peak times if possible; weekends and spring cleanup periods are the busiest and the longest waits happen then.
