Fulton County Transfer Station

Fulton County Transfer Station in Wauseon is the county transfer station where local residents drop off household and miscellany loads to be compacted and hauled to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors, small contractors, and folks doing yard cleanup tend to use it when a trip to a distant landfill isn't convenient.

There’s usually an entrance with a small booth and a scale nearby – expect to stop on the scale either coming in or going out since charging is by weight at facilities like this. Pull up to the booth for directions, then drive to the unloading area where trucks and compactors operate; it’s a working yard with big equipment and frequent truck traffic. Visual cues like piles of loose debris, roll-off containers, and compacting machinery are common, and drivers will typically point to the right spot for unloading. Weekend and spring-cleanup crowds can make the line move slowly, so anticipate some wait time during peak periods.
