Transfer Station
Kelleys Island Transfer Station
401 Bookermen Rd, Kelleys Island, OH 43438
(419) 746-2659Kelleys Island Transfer Station is the small island spot where local trash gets dropped off and then compacted before being trucked to a mainland landfill. Locals and seasonal residents use it when it's easier than taking a boat ride over to a bigger facility. It's straightforward and practical for island cleanup runs.
Drive up to a modest driveway with a scale and a small entrance booth visible from the road; vehicles usually stop there before proceeding. The lot has piles and compacting equipment out back, so expect the smell and noise typical of a transfer station. There are recycling bins set off to one side and a concrete pad where people leave residential bags and small items. Weekends, especially in summer or spring cleanup, can get a line, so plan for a short wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items covered or in bags - wind can scatter loose debris while waiting in line.
- Have your vehicle easy to back up or angle; the drop-off area is tight and maneuvering room can be limited.
- Avoid peak weekend times if possible; early mornings on weekdays tend to move faster.
